First, overpopulation is a myth. There is plenty of arable land on the planet, it's politics and greed that keep people starving. There has been speculation on overpopulation since the late 1690s. Source

Second, the earth is not more important than people. I'm not saying that people shouldn't responsibly maintain stewardship of the planet's resources and ecosphere, but I *am* saying that people are more important than the earth.

That being said, Forced Reproductive Control is abhorrant!! How can anyone truly believe that every person is entitled to basic human rights and dignity ALSO believe that doesn't include the right to have children?

I honestly do NOT understand that a person can be "pro-choice" when it comes to killing babies, but when it comes to having them, NO CHOICE FOR YOU!!
