Do you think that there are too many people in the world?



Do you agree with countries limiting parents to a certain amount of children and forcing abortion on anyone who has already reached the limit?
 
Nah, there's room for some more

Limiting isn't really necessary and forcing abortions on people is just plain cruel.

Limiting isn't necessary because, as a country gets wealthier, people will not need a lot of children to support them when they get older and are more likely to pursue a career first and not try for children until they're somewhat older and the older someone gets the harder it is to get pregnant thus further limiting population growth. Of course not all countries are wealthy (duh), but this seems to be changing slowly.
 
I think China does this already. At some point a country will reach a point where they just cannot fit anymore people. Something has to be done. That doesnt mean I agree with it though.
 
I do think that there are too many people in this world, but I don't really beleive in limiting the amount of children someone can have.
