Diversity Makes Greatness
From evince's wiki link on overpopulation:
I don't think that is correct, because education is very sparse among the very poor around the world. Yes, that is happening in America to some degree, but even we have not ended our population expansion. The more affluent are more likely to limit propagation but the impoverished have not gotten the message. Part of their problem is they constantly have too many mouths to feed and that keeps them poor. Also, they reach child bearing age before they acquire the wisdom to make wise decisions regarding childbirth, and they lack good parenting and good public education. They can even see it as a 'career choice' since the government cuts checks to unwed mothers, and those growing up in 'overlooked stunted economic pockets' (ghetto areas) see few other options nor opportunities.
"The University of Nebraska publication Green Illusions argues that population control to alleviate environmental pressures need not be coercive. It states that "Women who are educated, economically engaged, and in control of their own bodies can enjoy the freedom of bearing children at their own pace, which happens to be a rate that is appropriate for the aggregate ecological endowment of our planet."[159] The book Fatal Misconception by Matthew Connelly similarly points to the importance of supporting the rights of women in bringing population levels down over time."
