"We Want You to Curb Your Fertility"

From a story posted today by C-FAM, "US Castigates Holy See Over Family Planning."

The exchange between Shestack and Sarah Flood-Beaubrun of St. Lucia points up an irony at the UN. On the one side are rich countries demanding poor countries reduce their fertility rates, and on the other, the poor countries saying they need higher fertility rates for not just development, but survival. Almost half the countries in the world are facing what has come to be known as demographic winter, where fertility rates have fallen so dramatically that populations are rapidly aging.

This rings true; rich cultural elites would like nothing more than to continue funding population control in places like Africa. Where has population control resulted in the advance of a civilization, the strengthening of an economy? India and China has "successful" population control, I suppose, except for the minor detail that abortions of less-favored female babies are producing a male to female ratio imbalance. In India now it is 1000 males/917 females.
