Overpopulation
China has a one-child policy. If you don’t know why--it’s overpopulation, stupid. Iran policy dictates couples applying for a marriage license must first complete a family planning and parenting class. If you don’t know why--it’s overpopulation, stupid. Thailand has a two-children policy and you pay more taxes if you produce a third child. If you don’t know why--it’s overpopulation, stupid.
It would appear some of our less-stupids are now recommending health providers dispense contraceptives free of charge. It’s a small step in the right direction and no doubt there will be a great outcry from our large numbers of stupids. Maybe they don’t know the U.S. is the third most populated country in the world, and growing.
