National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM200)

quote:

The report advocates the promotion of education and contraception and other population control: "No country has reduced its population growth without resorting to abortion."


Our government is in on it.

Would the lack of risk of pregnancy lead to greater sexual activity, and thus higher prevalence of disease?

We aren't near needing that control, yet.

Not even close.

The US is 182nd out of 244 countries/territories in terms of population density.

85.35 people per square mile.

Bangladesh has 2,888.74 people per square mile. That's in-fricking-sane.

And they're only 10th on the list, although the top 9 are all really really small places like Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Vatican City.

Our government literally runs ZERO things efficiently and effectively.

I don't need them in control of my genitals.

population control


Mother Nature has a way of always winning. Just like animals, if we become too many, a disease with no cure will decimate a large portion of the population very quickly.

I'm okay with it to a certain degree. I certainly don't think low income people should be having 4 or 5 kids in our society. But that whole argument floats into another subject (Sex education,contraceptive etc)

Well my question right now is more around the impacts of solving the problems that are effective population control right now. Two things that kill people right now are murder and cancer. They are effective. We all hate both of them. We all want both of them to go away. If they did we would have to introduce a new way to handle the number of people that would have been taken by those two. Or I guess as someone else said, cancer would just be replaced by something else which would have the same impact.

My thoughts are they have already informed us that it will happen....

That is the issue.


My idea, which will get blown up:

1. Stop giving more welfare money to people who have more than 1 child.

2. Give free abortions to people on welfare in their first trimester

3. Give free birth control and condoms out with their welfare checks if they want it.


That'd be wayyy cheaper on the taxpayers than children and the amount of children born into poverty would slowly go down.

Won't be a popular opinion in the red south, but it would help tremendously IMO.

Is this like the argument that a woman's body will know what to do in the event of rape and will shut that whole thing down?

I have suggested and will suggest that a semi permanent form of birth control be a condition to receive welfare. No IUD no check

Lol at all the people in this thread talking about forced birth control in the US while ignoring that Africa is going to flood the world with migrants in the next 100 years

Yep.

Earth will start losing population soon. The growth rate is already slowing.
