What do you think of these suggestions for stabilizing World population growth ?

Access to contraception.

Family planing education.

And for it to be made law that a family is permitted only two children. With access to medical science guaranteeing them one boy one girl to maintain a gender balance in the population.

I think a wise humanity would understand the need for this.

Update:

@Arcade biZ

Did you note the full stop at the end of the sentence stipulating the suggestion that a family be restricted of two children by law ?

Parents would have the right to let nature choose the sex of their children if that is their wish. But if parents specifically wanted a guarantee of having a boy and girl then free access to the medical science would be an option for them.

Update 2:

@cate the above addition responds perfectly to the last part of your comment too :)

Update 3:

@The Black Rabbit of Inle

NO !

I hope their selfish genocidal psychopathic plan is foiled and they all face Justice if that is indeed their aim,

Update 4:

@PapaNazi

I think to be fair, if both children have an accident and die maybe there should be a clause that gives the parents the right to have another child.

With access to better contraception and education their shouldn't be a need for forced abortions one would hope.

    I think those are all very good suggestions.

    People seem oblivious to the need for this. When I was born, there were less than four and a half billion people in the world. Now, there are almost six point nine billion. The world's population increased by 50% just in my lifetime! How can anyone think this is going to end well?

    Scientists have warned us about overpopulation time and again in the last centuries. Nobody seems to be listening, except for the Chinese government. And even they are not entirely successful.

    People who think birth control is not necessary must believe that famine, poverty and war are just natural parts of life.

    No, sweetie. Two children per couple means there is no population growth. In fact, statistically, there would be a slow population decrease.

    "Access to contraception." Yes

    "Family planing education." Yes

    "And for it to be made law that a family is permitted only two children. With access to medical science guaranteeing them one boy one girl to maintain a gender balance in the population."

    HELL NO. I'm pro-choice and part of that is about reproduction freedom.

    the media-propelled acceptance of homosexuality.

    the financial penalties of marriage.

    the mainstreaming of pornography and the conveyance of ejaculating onto a woman as opposed to inside of her.

    the break-up of the church which emphasises the importance of family and heterosexuality and other traditions. i honestly wouldn't be surprised if the whole catholic church abuse scandals were a conspiracy to sway public opinion regarding church to make it easier for people to turn against the church and its practices of tradition.. i could see the pope chatting with global leaders to discuss how it would come about.

    high incarceration rates ( america leads the world in inmate population ). anyone who has done more than 3 years in prison isn't the same "man" he was before he went in.

    liberal views regarding abortion.

    it's in your face. of course people are generally too busy and preoccupied with their own lives to look deeper than the surfaces, but we're already working to curb the human population because we're too crowded and not to mention earth's resources aren't unlimited.

    i'm not sure whether i agree with this or not.. i knew for sure there was a global conspiracy to end population grow when a handful of developed nations adopted the legalization of gay marriage around the same time. america is working towards it ( as we see the american people in california voted against gay marriage, but a federal judge over-turned the ruling.. somehow.. ) and then spain and argentina have legalized literally within the last few weeks.. it's pretty obvious...canada a few years ago... norway, sweden, iceland.. all recently legalized it...

    australia had its first "atheism convention."

    new zealand is posting billboards in auckland promoting atheism. there are obvious signs. a lot of this is happening right now. simultaneously.

    I like your views. I say you help me find a nice shallow piece of international water, and we can dump sand in it and make our own island and we can choose everyone who can live there and the laws force a maximum of 2 children, and any additional pregnancies must be aborted, or your residency will be forfeit.

    Even with being permitted two children, exponential growth would still occur.

    One child per couple is what should be allowed, IMHO.

    But....access to contraception, YES

    Family planning education, YES

    The third world countries need it most. I agree a limit of 2 kids per family is enough.

    "Access to contraception.

    Family planing education."

    Sure, makes sense.

    "And for it to be made law that a family is permitted only two children. With access to medical science guaranteeing them one boy one girl to maintain a gender balance in the population."

    No thank you, totalitarian fascist control freak.

    You want to make a worldly law that says a family is only allowed to have two children?

    **** POPULATION CONTROL. LET THE WORLD OVERPOPULATE; ALL COUNTRIES SHOULD STOP SPENDING BILLIONS ON WAR, AND START SPENDING BILLIONS ON HELPING HUMANITY

    War is population control. You come here preaching population control, you've just became my enemy.

    people still don't use contraception.

    people don't like being educated.

    people break the law.

    i think if humanity was wise a lot of problems would be avoided.

    They are killing hundreds of thousands to a million of people in Iraq. Now if you count Gaza, Afghanistan, Mexico (drug trade), i think you can consider some stabilization for population growth!
