Why is abortion always the first thing mentioned when it comes to population control and why do we constantly think that ending life or resorting to temporary fixes for birth control is the wisest course?

It is simple, the world is overpopulated, don’t end life, preserve that which exists through prevention. Every infant that is born should have his or her father sought out. If the father cannot be found the mother should be stripped of her ability to reproduce through tubal ligation (if she can’t tell you who got her pregnant, of course not in the case of her being raped or something horrendous, simply her being so promiscuous that you cannot track down a father after several attempts). A man should be allowed to have 1 child before having to have a Vasectomy. This procedure is relatively simple, safe, and effective as a means of preventing childbirth. Am I the only one who sees this? If every man is only allowed one child then inevetiably the world population will decrease. Further this operation is reversible and a man can save or preserve samples of his semen in case of the event that his child passes away unexpectedly before reaching maturity, in this way we would assure the justice that every man would be able to have one child. But this would confine personal freedom too much…

These conservative ground rules would need adjustment to ensure that civil liberties were not trespasserd against. So instead, we should simply make this procedure available to all populations across the world, and would only be truly fair and effective if many social issues were addressed such as many in the third world whic live in abhorrent conditions. However, it is time that we as a planet and as one very much intertwined population started acting together. It is a preventative means which would have unequaled benefits. For many in third world nations they do not want the expense of many children they simply have no means of preventing these unwanted childbirths. Perhaps the poverty stricken would have a better chance were they not to be held down by unwanted mouths to feed.

I believe that if this procedure was openly availble free of charge to any man who wanted it then we would see a trend of decreasing population growth over time. Perhaps there would be other issues such as increased STI transmission; however, this issue could too be addressed and I believe it is the lesser of the two problems.

Just my thoughts on population control. Suffering is not the answer, foresight and freedom is.
