5. Birth rates in the US and Eurpoe are falling DRASTICALLY
Who can solve the mystery of our declining birth-rate?

Poor semen quality may contribute to recent decline in fertility rates

Don't mess with Mother Nature.

And as for you and your population control laws, did you see what the Nazis did?
And they based their ideas on the work done by people such as Margaret Sanger who started Planned Parenthood so as to get rid of black people other undesirables.

He had secured passage of a new law in Germany that authorized the sterilization of “feebleminded” men and women, and within months the Nazis had operated on thousands of people.
Although Hitler’s philosophy and practices would eventually be repudiated globally, it may be a surprise to many that at the same time, people were being sterilized for similar reasons in the United States.

And anyway, you don't even have to campaign to get a new law passed before you go and forcibly sterilize people in the US against their will.

Despite the Skinner case, sterilization of people in institutions for the mentally ill and mentally retarded continued through the mid-1970's. At one time or another, 33 states had statutes under which more than 60,000 Americans endured involuntary sterilization. The Buck v. Bell precedent allowing sterilization of the so-called "feebleminded" has NEVER BEEN OVERULED.
