In our latest installment of “Sh*t AOC Says,” we find that our ballsy but braindead congressgirl from NYC has yet more advice for the nation. That’s because we might all die in 12 years from climate change unless we do something!
And now she wonders if it’s moral to have children. Yes, she went there. I’m sorry — I know it’s painful to roll your eyes into the back of your head, but here we are.

In another one of those weird Democratic videos wherein we watch them at the dentist, or drinking beer, we find Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chopping vegetables with a really dull knife. It’s then that she ruminates on the morality of human reproduction:
“There is a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult, and it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question.”
“Is it okay to still have children?”
Why is it a moral question? Well, because children are damned expensive, and millennials have too much college debt:
“Not just financially because people are graduating with 20, 30, $100,000 worth of student loan debt, and so they can’t even afford to have kids and a house, but also just this basic moral question, like what do we do?”
Oh, I don’t know. Maybe grow up and quit whining?
“And even if you don’t have kids, there are still children here in the world and we have a moral obligation to leave a better world for them.”
You mean, the children she would let live, since AOC belongs to the political party that’s all about abortion anytime, for any reason.
Here’s a video of the latest “Sh*t AOC Says”:
Now let’s break this down, shall we?
First of all, let’s see where the United States stands as regards its rate of reproduction.
In examining the fertility rates of 200 nations, we see that the US ranks 135th. In addition, we’re not reproducing ourselves, either — in 2019 our birth rate is 1.886 children per woman. The top birth rate award goes to Niger, with 7.153 children per woman. Second goes to Somalia, with 6.123 children per woman.
Now both of these nations are Muslim-majority. Do you think they would care what AOC says? Perhaps she can take a trip there to convince them of her wisdom.
Yeah, that’ll work.
But we’ve seen this rodeo before, when so-called experts with their hair on fire tried to convince us to stop having those stinking babies!
The most famous of the town criers was Paul Ehrlich, an entomologist at Stanford University. In 1968 — that’s 51 years ago — he wrote a book called The Population Bomb. The first sentence in the book read:
“The battle to feed all of humanity is over.”
Cheery fellow, wasn’t he?
However, Ehrlich’s book not only made population control an acceptable topic for debate, it also launched human rights abuses worldwide. Places like Egypt, South Korea, India, and others forced contraception and sterilization. Moreover, we all know about China’s one-child policy, which has led to the horrors of forced abortions, among other problems.
Ehrlich’s dire predictions of the end of the world didn’t pan out, did they? We’re still here!
So let’s review what AOC, the junior Tyrant-in-Training, would have in store for us if she were really in charge — like she thinks she already is.
Yup. If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis.
Until then, we’re in charge – and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats. https://t.co/h3KSJhHqDN

She would like to get rid of our gas-consuming vehicles, and force us travel by train across the country. She wants to remodel all our homes and buildings, whether we want to or not.
And quit eating so many damned hamburgers — those cattle who provide us such deliciousness fart waaaay too much.
Oh, and one more thing. Stop using plastic bags. AOC says she wishes they didn’t exist.

Now AOC’s House term will be up in 2020, and there are some Democrats who see the handwriting on the wall. They know she’s Looney Tunes, and they think it might be wise to find someone more level-headed to challenge her in a primary. But I hope she’s re-elected. After all, the more that sensible voters see of her, the more likely they’ll be to vote Republican in their own elections. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, as they say, the gift that keeps on giving.
Welcome, Instapundit readers!

Ok, based on her comments, here’s one item where i’d be perfectly fine with a government subsidized item in healthcare. Her, or any of the idiots she mentions that are questioning if it’s ok to have kids should recieve a govt subsidy for permanent sterilization… if they’re that freaking stupid, they damn sure should NEVER reproduce!
Remember The Mary Tyler Moore Show? Or Marlo Thomas in That Girl? AOC is the woke Millennial version.
AOC Says Stop Having Children
Yes, dear, PLEASE, do not have any children!
“Sh*t AOC Says,”
Shouldn’t that be “Stupid Sh*t AOC Says”? I mean, otherwise, you’re including every word that comes ou…. oh, wait. Never mind.
they can’t even afford to have kids and a house
Yet another plot to have gov’t “solve” a problem it created by adding … more gov’t! Well, if kids are good, then maybe the gov’t should subsidize them! Free sh*t for everybody!
(Of course, with babies, you get plenty of free sh*t. Sometimes explosive sh*t. I could tell stories about a few incidents with my son…..)

WTF is she cutting?! If that’s anything but turmeric (with which you should really use an ax and saw), then she’s got an incredibly dull blade! Honey, sharpen that knife before you hurt yourself!
(Of course, that’s a perfect metaphor for her thinking, too. She’s definitely a tool, but she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.)
stop having those stinking babies!
Ahem. Cf. my comment about “free sh*t”.
The most famous of the town criers was Paul Ehrlich
You slander town criers with that, Kim! Town criers often gave actual news, which required facts and truth and such.
Until then, we’re in charge
Yep. it’s always been, and always will be, about POWER.
Oh, and if you think you’re in charge, sweetcheeks, just come on by my place, and I’ll set you straight. If you bring gov’t goons, it will be even more fun.
mulls banning plastic bags
*peruses the Constitution* Nope. Don’t see that jurisdiction anywhere in there. Sorry, cookie, but you’re not the BOSS of that. (Nor of, literally, any of the other things you proposed in that GND.)
As for Scott’s suggestion: Why sterilization? If they’re that worried about a carbon footprint, then we should provide gov’t-funded composting services. Stat! No need for sterilization, then!
I was trying to take the “moderate ” road GWB. I’d be even happier if they decide to take the one action that would definitively stop their carbon footprint forever, and just kill themselves…
Today they’re saying to stop having children. Yesterday they said it’s ok to terminate life thru and beyond the 3rd trimester. Tomorrow they say whole classes of society are an undue burden and need to be eliminated?
Can you say “deplorables”?…
It would be immoral if she had ids .. just sayin’
if she knew half as much as she thinks she does she would know twice as much as she actually does
she went to college and therein educated herself into imbecility
I mean- she isn’t entirely wrong. Sure, it’s a little far to make it a question of morality, but there IS such thing as carrying capacity and human population is getting pretty close. She’s actually not wrong about meat production and fossil fuels, it’s just her way of going about handling it from a political perspective isn’t realistic. I get you’re at political odds with AOC, but denying the facts doesn’t make you look more legitimate. It’s an equally ridiculous stretch to take a suggestion and jump right to forced population control on your end.
We’ve reached carrying capacity? Of the earth?!? BWAHAHAHAHA!
(At NYC’s density, the entire population of the earth could fit inside TEXAS. It’s a big state, but it’s only 1/2% of the earth’s land surface.)
She’s actually not wrong about meat production and fossil fuels
LOL! She’s very definitely wrong about those! Cow farts don’t produce nearly the greenhouse gases that hot air from the world’s politicians do. And fossil fuels are (with the possible exception of nuclear materials) the most efficient method of energy storage in the known universe.
The problem is not AOC’s approach. It’s that the facts simply don’t support her gaseous emissions. No, she’s stupid and earnest – a dangerous combination.
