Ah, Ted Turner: media baron, CNN founder, and lover of everything Russian. And abortions. Man, does that guy love abortions like you wouldn't believe.

Turner, who owns half the state of Montana, was on Tavis Smiley on Tuesday to espouse some of his more "controversial" beliefs (like women in developing nations should have access to birth control and sexual education?) and so naturally Tim Graham is getting crazy-psycho over at Newsbusters over Turner''s support of eugenics family planning.

Many people have probably forgotten how dramatically Turner has supported the cause of population control and abortion. He hasn’t changed his mind:

SMILEY: To your point now about overpopulation or the world's population, what do we do about that, if anything?

TURNER: Family planning. Have one and two-child families.

SMILEY: That's very controversial, as you know.

TURNER: I realize that, but I don't believe in it being a law. I think we should do it because it's the right thing to do for the time that we are here today. All you've got to do is fly over L.A. and see it goes from the ocean to 50 miles inland, it's solid people - nothing but. The land is the same way, but we just have to do it….

And it's a real tragedy. Like the United States hasn't been making their $25 million contribution to the United Nations Population Fund. We said we were going to pay, but the Bush administration never issued the checks. So women are dying of unsafe abortions because they don't have any other form of family planning all over the world in the developing world. The rich countries have to do their part to help the poor countries, in my opinion.

Yeah, that bastard Ted Turner, with his "population control" ideas and not letting women die from unsafe abortions. What does he think we are? A developed, first world nation?
