Population control

Population control is the liberal socialist myth that states the world is endangered by humans. 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 has heavily promoted the consequences surrounding "overpopulation" and "excessive" population growth.

Abortion

The most significant factor in population control is the termination of unborn babies. 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. Government-supported private agencies such as Planned Parenthood agree with the premise. Planned parenthood has 70 percent of its clinics located in minority neighborhoods and foreign aid for health programs still target the black, brown, and yellow 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.

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.

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.

Debunking the myth

On the subject of a crowded planet, It has been estimated by Paul Ehrlich and others that human beings actually occupy no more than 1 to 3 percent of the earth's land surface.

On the subject of the worlds forests are disappearing. The false claim that an area twice the size of Belgium is now being logged worldwide each year. What people don't realize is Belgium could fit into the world's tropical forests 500 times over, or 500 years from now it will be a problem. The rest of the world's trees, 99.6 percent of them are continuing to grow

On the subject that overpopulation is the chief cause of poverty. Many blame "overpopulation" when actually it is the result of bad economic policy. The economic problems result from excessive government spending, high taxes on farmers, inflation, restrictions on trade, too much government ownership, and overregulation of private economic activity.

Overpopulation causes war and revolution. This is a lie and realistically, the actual reason may be that bad governments, propped up by ineptly and unjustly managed foreign aid, are more probably the root of strife.
