It’s one thing to say we’re all unique snowflakes during times of industrial strength, but as water & food sources become more scarce, population will decline, it’s just a matter of when and how. I’d like to think the human race is enlightened enough to do this on our own without nature intervening through forcing more and more of us into starvation because we’re too dumb to realize that we need to lower our numbers. Apparently this Science Czar wants to do the work for us. Abortion is surely NOT the answer becuase over 90% of them are done for the sake of social convenience, so birth control doesn’t work. I don’t think it should be legislated, certainly not at the federal level – that’s always a disaster. Smart people who want to reproduce should form their own communities where they don’t have to pay into a federally funded welfare program nor allow anyone living in their space to receive welfare funds…after a bit, that type of experiment would yield excellent results as populations would be controlled via economic, cultural, and social devices. Let each community decide how they should grow, just don’t provide any relief if they start consuming all of their resources too quickly. Everyone will get the message pretty easily as to what their ideal population is in a certain space.

Remember, illegal immigration provides a relief valve for developing countries (as does legal immigration from devloping countries). Economic policy is partly to blame for continually and needlessly growing population. It’s not about abortion/pro life/ pro death stances; the issue is much more complex. Smart reproduction is the way to go, and we shouldn’t reward welfare leeches or morons for outbreeding intelligent folks via welfare or easy access into, say, the US. Europe is struggling with this right now – it’s all fine and dandy to be semi-socialist when you don’t have a huge influx of Muslim immigrants basically reverse colonizing the entire continent; now they’re struggling with these “equality” issues as legal and illegal immigrants flood into European cities grabbing up all the social services (free health care, ahem) provided to “everyone, equally”.

For more reasonable views on population control, check out Dr. Albert Bartlett’s youtube videos, or check out http://www.corrupt.org and search on overpopulation…not everyone is an insane about the idea as this “Science Czar”.
