To buttress her own case about "doing it better," Pollitt claims that getting a better deal for mothers has been at the forefront of the feminist agenda for decades. I really laughed at that one. The feminist Bible, the Platform for Action from the 1995 Beijing Fourth World Women's Conference where Hillary Clinton famously claimed that "Women's Rights are Human Rights" mentions "gender mainstreaming" a couple of times per page, but barely mentions motherhood –– less than half a dozen references in the whole 200-page-plus document. Betty Friedan, the mother of the feminist movement, declared that "being a wife and mother" was not going to interfere with what she regarded as her "real life."

Pollitt saved her wildest accusations for last. She accuses the World Congress of Families of not really "treasuring" the people who are on the earth "right now." To Pollitt, the WCF has an "undercurrent of nativism and racism." She implies that WCF wants to get rid of all Muslims by having "Polish women bear kids for Christ." She totally ignores Poland's role in pulling down the Communist empire, only noting the seventeenth century victory of King John Sobieski in halting Muslim expansion in Europe.

The tone of this article is elitist and intolerant. In the first paragraph she mentions breeding (her word) "ethnically correct workers" (sounds like an idea Margaret Sanger would approve), then in subsequent paragraphs implies children born in developing countries should be used to meet the dearth of menial laborers to support aging populations. Then she writes, "Instead of cajoling and bribing women into gestating the home-health attendants of the future, states should start treasuring the people—all the people—they have right now." I bet those home-health attendants feel treasured.

She defames the WCF for being pro-family, pro-life and pro-religion and then rails against anti-family government policies in France, Russia and towards the Gypsies in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The WCF looks to improve the family unit and in so doing improve the lives of children. Where is the harm in that?
