Many headlines in Britain and the US expressed fears that birth control, which was once thought of as necessary for eugenics, had now gone too far and was contributing to underpopulation. Headlines often expressed fears that other races were going to outnumber White people.

A new vision for tackling the global noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) crisis has failed to reach consensus at the UN after the US refused to give its support, forcing member states to a vote.
After months of negotiations, the fourth political declaration on NCDs and mental health received overwhelming backing from governments at the UN general assembly on Thursday but was rejected by the US during a speech by Robert F Kennedy Jr, the health secretary.
Addressing the assembly, Kennedy said: "We cannot accept language that pushes destructive gender ideology. Neither can we accept claims of a constitutional or international right to abortion. [The declaration] exceeds the UN's proper role while ignoring the most pressing health issues, and that's why the United States will reject it."
There is no mention of reproductive rights or gender in the declaration except in reference to specific challenges facing women.
Despite the US's stance, the declaration is expected to be agreed on in the coming weeks. Katie Dain, the chief executive of the NCD Alliance, an NGO, said: "The unity we saw today proves that most governments are ready to take the baton on NCDs."
The declaration includes new targets to track and accelerate responses to NCDs such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases, which cause 43 million deaths a year - 75% of all deaths worldwide The majority, 80%, are preventable.
It also strongly urges access to affordable medicines and integrates mental health and diseases such as oral and renal conditions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4od5odxx64klpi5risunncg2/bafkreic65z536ujiobhqrs3vvw2ntbkl57symrcbpbfhvpltiww2b5wuym@jpeg)
Just adding this from WMUR. I know conservatives are a lost cause here, but everyone else needs to be aware that a person yelling "Free Palestine" during an act of violence is not always a pro-Palestine leftist.
