Should we be doing more to encourage population control?

Question

I personally think that everyone in politics and otherwise seems to be avoiding this question like the plague. 2030 it's been predicted that our world population will reach 10 billion.

I have always been one to support personal freedom and I still think that it's your right to have as many children as you please so long as you can provide for them without living off the government. but eventually people, our resources will no longer be enough, eventually we WILL run out of room on this tiny speck in the universe.

What are your thoughts on the issue, should we place incentives and or restrictions in society that regulate population?

No law restricting reproduction will ever work. Making voluntary contraception readily available, combined with a reasonable abortion policy, is a better solution. China tried a one-child policy to limit reproduction, and it failed. If we ever over populate Earth to the point that there is inadequate food and water, then nature will take care of the problem.

Most developed countries are already at or below zero population growth and the growth rate in all other countries is slowing rapidly.  I'm not sure how much more can be done.

Yes, as long as it doesn't involve birth control or abortion.
We need to do it the Republican way by starving the poor and bombing foreign people.

No, we should be doing more to control the government and destroy globalist banking cartels.
