Steven Mosher talks briefly about his new book, "Population Control--Real Costs, Illusory Benefits," and how it arose from years of experience with the pro-life movement. 300 pages of irrefutable data, the book exposes population control for what it really is: a scam based on erroneous ideas and ignorant hysteria.
You can order this book by going to www.pop.org. It is also available on amazon.com.

Only abortions where the life of the mother is threatened by pregnancy or the mother was a rape victim may be publicly funded.
Anyway in which the state may step in to force abortions on citizens or ban them from performing them IS population control.

@waters2100 I don't know where you live, but here in the United States, all fifty states support abortion. The federal government even funds it with tax payer money. In my country, over a million potential human lives are lost every year, sacrificed on the altar of vanity. Here the pro-life movement is comprised entirely of private citizens who are losing. So what's your answer? More annihilation?

@SepharimWing I don't agree with you on the "kinder" idea (abortion, population control, what's nice about that?), but you are right. Few people here in America understand the urgency of the problem.

I realize that it would be giving up on luxuries but considering the majority of western societies expendatures are on entertainment we could afford to be generous and take honest real action to solve problems. In terms of food production it would take 6 trillion to make the farms to feed the third world (we still would need to do something about the warlords). Considering the weath that we have it would cost alot but it is doable the only thing stopping us is our greed.

You are right. Barack Obama is kinder, but hasn't done anything. He lives in a country where everything is (relatively) fine, so his ambition to stop these countries is dampened by a lack of immediate danger.

@SepharimWing I agree with you. A strong, solid plan is the only way to properly solve the problems of the world.
If only the government were showing any signs of actually trying to come UP with a plan, but alas, they show neither sympathy, concern, nor any will to do anything about it.
Bush was an idiot, and he did his part to help create the deficit (and the recession), but his dedication to saving the Iraqis from Saddam Hussein was endearing.
Am I thinking of something else?

Yes, but it's even more cruel to make a hasty action that ends up twisting the metaphorical knife. They need to think of a way to very quickly and efficiently kill the corrupt groups controlling the impoverished countries, otherwise the groups will become aware, and hold the country hostage.
Better to create a foolproof plan in ten years and wipe out those in control with one move, then making a quick plan in 1 year that they can defend against.

@Greginda11 Sorry, but I have to agree with SephWing on this one. Thanks to the modern view of economics, when people pay for something, most of the time they expect to get something back.
Maybe if we sold them timeshares in the impoverished villages they support...

@SepharimWing You make an excellent point (considering what they did to Bush and Iraq - waste of money and lives to the U.S., but I think it helped the Iraqis).
Still, isn't it just as cruel to sit back and let horrible things go on without doing anything?

I understand what you're saying. However, the human is a very stubborn creature. In order to get the people with the money to donate, you need them to get motivated about it.
Also, a lot of the money that could help this cause is USED IN COMMERCIALS TO ADVERTISE THESE SORT OF THINGS. At the very least it would cost tens of millions of dollars to publish this book, so it's kinda redundant.
