Birth Permits Two?

The concept of a birth permit is not very popular. Let's assume over population is a problem. What below best reflects your feelings.

I just want to see if your hypothesis works, so maybe you could tie the two and explain why without over-population this problem wouldn't be.

I do not believe it is correct for government or people to make that decision for others.

I remember reading back in the 90's about some research being done by the biomeds into a "permanent pill". The idea was sort of a pregnancy innoculation...a shot that permanently shuts down the monthly ovulation cycle. Instead of taking a pill to AVOID getting pregnant, women would instead take a pill to ENABLE ovulation when they were ready to have a kid. Something like that, on a global level, would solve the problem.

Then again, it would also probably trigger WWIII, which would solve the population problem in other ways.

and abortion services available, easily accessible, and affordable to ALL women. Like FreakinDJ said, "Every problem the world has can be traced to Over-Population". Put an end to unwanted pregnancies. Quit forcing poor women into having babies they can't afford. Stop guilting anyone into having babies they don't want.

some other positive and life-enhancing measures go right along with it. Having education and job opportunities available for women cuts population growth in _every_ society where it happens.

Pretending this away is nonsense, the amount of land and resources required per human (yes, even those that live simply) is high as hell. This is why there are increasing animal attacks and fires. We are pushing everything else to the brink. There probably isn't 7 billion of anything else our size much less 7 billion anythings our size that at minimum require agriculture.

If you think this isn't a problem it is direct statement of not giving a shit about the rest of life on the planet, straight up. We need to at the very least acclimate to the discussion so that we can make a rational choice before the situation is so out of hand that only bad choices are left. Their is inherently a finite amount of people the Earth can support, what is that upper limit according to naysayers? If 7 billion isn't a problem is 14, 20, 50, or a 100? Can the world support a trillion humans?

We can obviously get some mileage beating back poverty, increasing education, and making birth control available and encouraged, all of which have an effect on reducing the birth rate but there are so many of us already that without a massive die off the life web is severely strained.

That's what I hear. I think critical thinking does as well. Somehow, assuming the role of obedient chattel seems to induce breeding.

It would also help fix our wealth distribution problem. No more dynasties.

Before you go supporting these things, think long and hard about whether your parents would have gotten one.
