The bill states that “not less than $575,000,000 should be made available for family planning/reproductive health, including in areas where population growth threatens biodiversity or endangered species.”

The terms “family planning” and “reproductive health” are often used as euphemisms for abortion. Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., who put out a lengthy Twitter thread outlining what he viewed as the most concerning provisions of the bill, described the idea of encouraging abortions in areas with high population growth as an example of “Malthusianism.”

‘Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program,” he asserted. Malthusianism refers to the ideology of Thomas Malthus, who warned that continuous population growth would put global food supply at risk and leave humans unable to sustain themselves.
