The Population Research Institute (PRI) reports:
* Many countries abuse human rights in the name of family planning or population control. In Mexico, poor Indian women with children are often denied medical care by government clinics unless they agree to be sterilized. In Peru, the government has admitted that many Indian women were forcibly sterilized by that country's population control campaign in which 300,000 women were rendered barren.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100127105531/http://pop.org/0000000094/pri-faqs-frequently-asked-questions?

In general, population control represents any of several approaches to managing the [[population]] growth rate of [[human]]s. The driver for efforts at population control is concern that levels of population sustainability are rapidly being approached. Some consider this concern to be a [[liberal]] [[socialist]] [[myth]]. Also, "sustainability" is very difficult to define in practical terms. Due to criticism, the myth promoters have adapted their position with a new ideological term. Population control has been changed to the wide promotion of 'reproductive health'. The mainstream [[media]] have heavily promoted the consequences surrounding "overpopulation" and "excessive" population growth.
