Trees and lakes are more valuable than human babies, according to the Sierra Club.
Club Executive Director Michael Brune was grilled by Tucker Carlson on Thursday night over weighing into political issues that are seemingly out of the group’s purview.
“So abortion,” Carlson said. “Last year on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, you all issued a press release saying the Sierra Club stands in solidarity — I think I’m quoting — with Planned Parenthood.
“Now, people feel that way, okay. What does that have to do with the environment? Why does legal abortion make the environment better?” he asked.
“Well, we believe in empowering women’s rights,” Brune responded.
“We think that women who have rights and have the ability to make their own reproductive choices will help to produce strong families and will help to protect the environment at the same time.”
When Carlson still couldn’t figure out how the two are connected, Brune responded, “Well it helps to address the number of people we have on this planet.”
Carlson got a horrified look on his face.
Brune continued, “We feel one of the ways we can get to a sustainable population is to empower women to make choices about their own families.”
Carlson concluded that Brune’s position was that “fewer people are better for the environment.”
