The Crusade Against Population 'You have probably never heard of Dr. Reimert Ravenholt, but he was one of the most influential people of the 20th century.

Backed by a large supply of federal tax dollars, he zealously went about promoting contraception, sterilization, and abortion as the cure for the “plague” of too many children.'
