Woah woah, buddy. I think the best way to lower the population of humans safely is to STOP HAVING SO MUCH SEX!

But then again, where's the fun in that?

One day, not far from now, you are going to experience what the world is going to do to the baby boomers to eliminate their burden on society and let their wealth flow. I will be part of that, you may not be, but it will happen probably in the next 5 years. My personal guess is that it will be a combination of the influenza from the early 1900's that was discovered in a frozen body in Alaska 5 years ago coupled with an ineffective flu vacine delivered to places suppored by medicare. We have been frightened by the flu for the last 5-6 years, so when it happens, nobody will question how a lot of our old people and some of our children died. When it happens, remember this post and know that nobody is safe in this world as long as our future is being manipulated by those concerned with wealth. We can only live the best life we can and hope for the future.
I don't personally believe in abortion, however, I would never force my personal beliefs on someone else so I am pro choice. We need to start adopting those unwanted children because we are going to need them for our future.

Adoption is always good. Think of how we could help the world if sex was limited? Kids on the street would get a family and home, the population of humans would decrease, and abortion would not be needed anymore. Why is it against religion to get rid of something a woman made? what if she was raped and she never intended to get pregnant? What if she doesn't want to endure the pain of childbirth? I think that religion is a little sexist.

Adoption is always good.

Empty platitude.
Adoption is not "always good".
Nothing is "always good", and sometimes adoption really, really sucks.
I am a birthmother of a now-grown son; I am tentatively pro-adoption, but I do not recommend it unconditionally or without reservations.
When things go wrong, they go really wrong.

Adoption law and procedure, frankly, needs a lot of reform before I could agree that it's "always good", or even "always better than abortion".

I don't remember if this is witches hair or old man's beard? Any ideas?

[Bass&Catfish2008]

Yes.

If the question has to be asked then we should obviously err on the side of caution.
