{{cquote|After [[World War II]] private agencies and foundations played an important role in legitimizing population control as a way to secure Western control over Third World resources and stem political instability. In the late 1960s the U.S. government became a major funder of population control programs overseas and built multilateral support through establishment of the [[U.N.]] Fund for Population Activities. At the 1974 World Population Conference, Third World governments challenged the primacy of population control. While their critique led population agencies to change their strategies, population control remained a central component of international development and national security policies in the United States.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9285280/</ref>}}

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.

==Abortion==

The most significant factor in population control is the termination of unborn babies (see [[abortion]]). Another factor is the sterilization of women. False reasons for this position are numerous. Everything from [[environment]] and [[global warming]] to [[poverty]], [[war]] and food supply.<ref>Kasun, Dr. Jacqueline R. (May/June 1998).  [https://web.archive.org/web/20110426030644/http://www.envoymagazine.com/backissues/2.3/coverstory.html "Too Many People?"] ''Envoy'' magazine website.  Retrieved from April 26, 2011 archive at Internet Archive.</ref> [[Government]]-supported private agencies such as [[Planned Parenthood]] agree with the premise: it has 70 percent of its clinics located in minority neighborhoods, and foreign aid for health programs still target the non-white populations of the world for reduction.

Unlike almost all other American scholars of the subject, Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute and a [[China]] expert, does not consider population control to be a worthy goal. Mr. Mosher documents how population control has crowded out many of the resources needed for [[disease]] prevention and treatment and has often led to massive [[human rights]] abuses by governments eager to meet their population reduction goals.<ref name=om/>

==United Nations==

The [[United Nations]] Population Fund (UNFPA) is the premier agency that distributes financial resources to control population. They vigorously contend they do not fund abortion nor do they support the sterilization of women. The facts remains that since 1979, the UNFPA has been the chief apologist and cheerleader for [[China]]'s coercive one-child-per-couple policy. Despite numerous credible forced [[abortion]] reports from impeccable sources, high-ranking officials at UNFPA always dismiss and explain it all away.<ref>Smith, Congressman Chris [R-NJ] (August 2004).

The [[United States]] is a chief fund supplier of population control by Foreign Operations Appropriations bills. Congressional [[Republicans]] and Republican Presidents have been successful in preventing the UNFPA from receiving U.S. funding. The exact opposite for Democrats, who continue to fund (UNFPA) and support abortion funding worldwide.
