Population growth from births in the United States from Americans is really not an issue. Our population in the US is set to explode due to masses of Catholic immigrants who make their first order of business upon entry into the United States the creation of mini soccer teams. If they're legal, might be good to hand them a box of Trojans on the way in. If they're illegal, well, I'd suggest the reconstruction of birthright citizenship, but that's a topic for a completely different thread.
And yeah, I can say that as a son of a Catholic immigrant, so back off concern hippies, lol.
As for "the world" becoming more and more populated, I know China is set to have population decline ina few decades due to "one child" policy......... short of the adoption of similar draconian tactics by other world governments, it will inevitably be Mother Earth that decides when too much is too much, and the "excess" will be shaken off rather violently and with lots of suffering, I imagine.
It seems the person quoted in the article is proposing government limitations on numbers of children such as in China.
How do you control that though? If I have 2 kids with my husband and then he dies or we get divorced and I remarry - am I not allowed to have children with my new husband who has no children?
What the article fails to mention is that having fewer than two children per couple will lead to societal collapse.
2.1 children per couple is the replacement rate for a given population. We also have an aging population that depends on the younger generation to support it through Social Security.
