(LifeSiteNews) — The increasingly pathetic progressive movement specializes in something called “intersectionality.” This is a fancy term for building coalitions between different groups that have nothing whatsoever in common except a lust for power.

Radical Muslims and the LGBT activists despise each other, for instance, so much so that the radical Muslims would be happy to throw homosexuals off the roofs of buildings if they were in power. Yet, in an example of “intersectionality” in practice, they have joined forces in support of the Iranian Mullahs.

The latest example of intersectionality, however, is even weirder. The international abortion movement, seeking to capitalize on the fear of “climate change,” is joining together with climate activists to argue that the weather is a “reproductive health crisis.”

At first glance, you might wonder what the weather has to do with contraception or abortion. But intersectionality doesn’t have to make sense. It just has to forge coalitions and grab headlines.

As to exactly what kind of “climate-driven reproductive health crises” we are talking about, here are some of their arguments:

• “Bad weather” might make a woman forget to take her contraceptive pills.
• A Tsunami or tornado could destroy an abortion facility or cause food scarcity, which in turn might cause a woman to “not prioritize” her contraception.
• “Sheltering in place” during a natural disaster increases the risk of sexual assault, creating a need for more abortions.

(We’ll pause here for a second while you stop laughing.) Now that you see how this works, we can easily come up with an endless number of “climate-driven reproductive health crises” entirely on our own:

• The sun setting is a reproductive health crisis because it makes people tired, and tired people might forget to take their birth control pills.
• Job loss is a reproductive health crisis because you might not have money for an abortion.
• Winter is a reproductive health crisis because it might snow, and the snow might prevent you from driving to the pharmacy to pick up your contraceptives.
• Spring is a reproductive health crisis, because people get twitterpated.

Climate change is already a “hot button” issue that makes many people – especially young people – feel anxious about their future. By tying that anxiety to so-called reproductive rights, however bizarrely, pro-abortion activists are trying to channel that emotion into a demand for more abortion access.

All and all, this is intersectionality on steroids – conflating two things that have absolutely nothing to do with one another for political gain.

Not to mention that the two things being conflated are now increasingly understood to be hoaxes.

The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has belatedly confessed that the apocalyptic climate porn they’ve been peddling to frighten children into sterility, and governments into spending billions to drive down the birth rate, is “impossible.”

As in, it never was “possible.”

The planet may warm a bit, or cool a bit, as it has been doing since the beginning of time. And life will go on.

From the garbage in-garbage-out computer models to the decades of failed predictions of disaster, all of this climate porn was defended not by rational argument but by claiming that criticism was off-limits. Climate change was “settled science,” you see.

Nothing screams dogma like a refusal to entertain rational argument. Or the threat to censor those who tried to engage in it.

The second hoax concerned overpopulation. For decades the population controllers have been discouraging people from having children, portraying the act of raising a family as an irresponsible, earth-destroying catastrophe.

“Reproductive rights” were almost exclusively defined to mean the “right” not to have children. Those who went ahead and reproduced anyway were “breeders” who in their recklessness were threatening to overrun the planet.

We’ve probably spent a trillion dollars promoting two phony scenarios: the first that the world was overpopulated, the second that the world was coming to an end because of climate change.

Both are false. And it is too late to knit the two together in a failed effort to revive either.

The progressives want to use the weather to manipulate us by falsely claiming that our “right” to an abortion is being threatened by a non-existent crisis.

The truth is life is worth nurturing, the future is worth building, and a rainstorm is just a rainstorm – not a reason to expand the culture of death.
