BirthStrike is the newest movement in the push to advance climate change regulations.
At least 60 women have joined the BirthStrike movement, which encourages women to refuse to have children because they believe the earth is in crisis due to climate change. Members of this newly formed group believe it would be unjust to raise children in a world that could look vastly different than the world they grew up in.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been outspoken on this subject, holding a live Q&A from her kitchen and asking the question, “Is it OK to still have children?” (RELATED: Poll: 1/3 Of Americans Share Ocasio-Cortez’s Worry About Having Kids With Climate Change)
According to a report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is a body in the United Nations focused on assessing the world’s climate trends, having fewer children is the best way people can cut down on CO2 emissions. And this has prompted the formation of BirthStrike.
The report estimates that having one child less per family will save 58.6 tons of CO2 per year, whereas living car-free is estimated to only save about 2.4 tons of CO2 per year.
AOC has not said that people should stop having children. But she has emphasized that “we need a universal sense of urgency” and that the “watered-down proposals” being offered “are frankly going to kill us.”
Tune in to see what exactly is happening with this BirthStrike movement.

Following in the footsteps of eugenithist Margaret Sanger ideologies, that reducing the population of people she believed lowered the intelligence of a country. As a racist Margaret Sanger believed minorities were less intelligent and that just being poor made you less intelligent. By founding Planned Parenthood and getting Government subsidies to place these “women’s healthcare centers” strategically in economically depressed districts. They have brainwashed women into believing that having children they can’t afford to raise to have abortions. Along came Roe v. Wade that the Supreme Court approved that until the actual birth of a living baby made it a “person” under our Constitution, that it is not a “person” and aborting it is legal. In the USA alone over 60 Million Abortions – and increasing by the minute – have been performed. Statistics show these abortions are by majority minorities and economically by people living below the poverty line that have among the lowest levels of education. By this we can see that what Margaret Sanger believed, has been made a reality by the majority support from the Democratic Party, that refuses to defund Planned Parenthood. The fact that everywhere there are Planned Parenthoods are in districts that have been controlled by the Democratic Party for decades. By their own policies, the Democratic Party has created their own genocide of people that vote for them. While the Republican Party has spent decades trying to end abortions and defunding Planned Parenthood. The only consolation Republicans can take from this, is that less people that vote for Democrats are being born. But it is sad that over 60 Million people have not been born that could have been having children of their own. Our population could have been over 370 Million as mortality rates have declined. And that doesn’t count the new estimates of over 30 Million illegal aliens living in the USA.
That for decades a fraction of humanity has believed the Earth is overpopulated and yet those same people will not commit suicide or reduce their own family to prove their conviction to their beliefs. They expect that other people should do whatever they preach.
This New Green Deal is another farce that only the ignorant will find ways to advocate for it. These 60 females are starting a movement that will grow and further reduce the number of future Leftist. The Liberal Mind is a mixture of psychological disorders that by their own ideologies is causing their own genocide.
Personally…more power to them and keep on doing whatever you’re doing…
First there’s “Strike for Climate”, now “Birthstrike”. What next? “Foodstrike”? “Planestrike”? “Petstrike”? The problem here isn’t that these morons have decided not to do something based on completely wrong information and an asinine ideology; it’s the sickening virtue signaling, along with the hope that their actions along with the ideology will spread, like a virus. They are being “martyrs for the cause”.
I applaud their decision and would like to urge them to expand this technique to other political areas of their concern. In a generation or two they’ll solve the actual problem, their ideas, for our own children.
It’s a sign of the shallowness of their thinking that they think removing themselves and prospective progeny from humanity is a ‘solution’ to what they think ails them.
Feminist nonsense … I see spinsterhood.
So….The “BirthStrikers” won’t adopt?
Good for the kids.
And to think a couple weeks ago I was calculating that my wife and I had made up for 16 average women or two suicidalists like these Birthstrikers. Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
Attention seeking Extinction Rebellion members from Bristol run the facebook page, they probably didn’t want kids anyway.
Well that’s good . eliminate a gene pool of scaredy cats . Just hope they aren’t planning on doing any late term abortions as part of their righteous plan . Besides, the earth is going to end in under 12 years so they wouldn’t even get to watch the kids graduate .
Maybe this group of virtue signalers will convince the other 3 billion women on earth and in a hundred years
there will be no one left . OK maybe insiders, Al Gore and David Suzuki clan .
To show how internationally orchestrated all this depopulation eugenics is, see Germany’s Bild Zeitung 07.03.19. Also Austria’s Die Presse and Kurier .
38 year old German author Verena Brunschweiger’s new book, Child Free, Instead of Childless, says a 50 year old childless woman should get a 50,000 Euro award, and every child less is 50 tons CO2 saving per year. She is SPD.
I wonder what taboo the author would like to break?
60/4,000,000,000 = approx. 0.0000015% of the world’s women.
Who cares …..
” 0.0000015% of the world’s women. Who cares …..”
You forgot to count the men. As for only 60 people, it’s at least a start.
A great way to remove the genes for gullibility and non-scientific thinking from the human gene pool permanently. I wonder if this would be effective against socialism, of which there seems to be an outbreak in the
USA. We have tried this in the UK. It aways seem to end in the same way. Other peoples money runs out it always does.
“A great way to remove the genes for gullibility and non-scientific thinking from the human gene pool permanently.”
Sadly, the gullibility and non-scientific people will continue to reproduce even as the sane and educated stop. This is exactly what we see happening right now.
This is excellent news; I hope the movement “catches on.” Humans should have stopped reproducing decades ago, but it is better late than never. Sadly, not enough people care enough about the future to stop reproducing. On the plus side, the USA’s population is decreasing and the USA birth rate is expected to go negative soon— that will help some, but not enough.
