Early in her career, she was responsible for coming up with a “fertility opportunity hypothesis” that predicts that Mexican Americans will have more children than native-born whites in this country and then suggesting that “European-Americans should rapidly increase family size in order to avoid minority status.” After that, Abernethy’s slide into full-throated extremism rapidly accelerated. | Early in her career, she was responsible for coming up with a “fertility opportunity hypothesis” that predicts that Mexican Americans will have more children than native-born whites in this country and then suggesting that “European-Americans should rapidly increase family size in order to avoid minority status.” After that, Abernethy’s slide into full-throated extremism rapidly accelerated. Later in the late 1990s, Abernethy became the editorial advisor of the [[Council of Conservative Citizens]], a [[Hate Groups|hate group]] that has referred to black people as a “retrograde species of humanity.” At the same time, Abernethy, who edited the academic journal Population and Environment for a decade, worked tirelessly to suggest that non-white immigration needed to be stopped for environmental reasons. At various points, she was on the boards of the Carrying Capacity Network and Population-Environment Balance, both nativist organizations. | ||

In 2004, Abernethy became the head of the national advisory committee to Protect Arizona Now, a group that was pushing a punishing anti-immigrant referendum. Even though Abernethy frankly identified herself to one newspaper reporter as a white “separatist” and she was denounced editorially across the state for her ties to the CCC, the referendum passed handily. The same year, she gave a speech honoring Kevin MacDonald (see profile below), an infamous [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] professor at California State University, Long Beach. | In 2004, Abernethy became the head of the national advisory committee to Protect Arizona Now, a group that was pushing a punishing anti-immigrant referendum.
