Theresa Greenfield Celebrates Endorsement and Donation from Population Control Group

Since Theresa Greenfield launched her Senate campaign, she’s received endorsements and donations from some of the most radical liberal organizations in the country. They include advocates of partial birth abortion, supporters of the Green New Deal, and champions of single-payer health care. Little did Iowans know, that barely scratched the surface of Greenfield’s disturbing agenda.

Over the weekend, Iowa Field Report highlighted a statement released by Greenfield in which she proudly accepted an endorsement and corresponding contribution from an organization called Population Connection.

“According to their website, Population Connection, formerly known as Zero Population Growth (ZPG) advocated for population control in the way of smaller families so environmental degradation would not occur. To that goal, they currently support taxpayer funding for abortions and advocate for an end to the Hyde Amendment. They called abortion ‘an extremely common and relatively minor medical procedure.’”

In addition to supporting the elimination of the Hyde Amendment, the organization also promotes increasing taxes on families for having more children than they deem necessary.

“Iowa Field Report also found that Population Connection held a number of other positions over the years. In the book titled ‘Before Roe v. Wade,’ Pulitzer Prize-winning author Linda Greenhouse and Reva Siege profile Population Connection’s history and controversial advocacy positions.

The book includes reprints with their blessing of Population Connection’s literature, which includes the statements ‘that no responsible family should have more than two children’ and that ‘irresponsible people who have more than two children should be taxed to the hilt for the privilege of irresponsible breeding.’”

Despite recently running a campaign ad that portrays Greenfield visiting a pig farm, Population Control denounced pig farming. This industry supports more than 140,000 jobs in Iowa, and ending it would devastate the state’s economy and put those Iowans out of work. In addition to accepting Population Control’s endorsement, Greenfield also received a $2,500 contribution from them.
