Contraceptives: Solution to over population?

i think the only solution is to force them to plant on their head about the word "CONTROL" that for every child they have they must have a monthly income of 20,000 Philippine Pesos.... now, let's say, if they have a monthly income of 100,000 pesos, then they have the right to bear a 5 kids.....

The world's not overpopulated: our "civilisation" is inefficient because we're too concerned with profit and greed. There's plenty of room for everybody, plenty of food to go around, plenty of everything... but the rich countries over-use most of it and the poor countries suffer. Redistribution is better than population control.

I think it is the one will be useful to suppress the over growing of population. The problem in using the contraceptives is the catholic church who is always refusing to to so... If they are always against for the used of contraceptives. The over population will not be minimize. Because they always reiterated that using it is against the canon law which they impose. But if they really read the bible...they should not be against to this good purpose

We are indeed over populated and the result is poverty. Many are homeless and hungry, crimes are increasing and environment is such a mess. Control is very important, contraceptives may help but disciplines in our selves and being aware of the situation of our country is the most important.

The overpopulation is not only because there are so many children born. As a matter of fact in many western countries couples get something like 1.4 children. It's no longer a habit anymore to start a family. Also the mothers are getting older and older (giving birth at a higher age). Overpopulation is Western countries is because people are getting older. We have more older people and hardly young people who will take care of the elderly one day. So perhaps the not western countries should have less children? Perhaps you are happy to know that in Africa still many people die of all kind of diseases we don't get anymore? Or that most people don't get older as 47 years? I don't think there is a solution for the overpopulation. To be honest I am still surprised there is one with all those holy wars, cival wars, flues, aids, cholera, yellow fever, malaria, and nature ramps. So many people die and we still have overpopulation. Perhaps we should let everyone die who needs medical help? Stop looking for a cure for cancer, not giving a new kidney, heart, liver etc anymore? Perhaps we should tell every woman but also man not to have more as just 1 child and let the handicaped children die instead of feeding and threating them? And why demostrate against abortion or say anticonception is forbidden by church? Personally I don't think this is the way. I don't have a solution for this problem. Perhaps a big children issue would be solved to many if they were allowed to adopt a child easier? Personally I can't say I care about this subject (over population), I don't see it as a problem at all.

Contraception is the prevention of conception and I do not see anything wrong with that. Some believe that contraception is synonymous with abortion, but it is not. It is preventing the sperm from fertilizing the mature ovum. Abortion, on the other hand, is killing the unborn baby. Life begins at conception. If there is no fertilized egg, no embryo, no fetus, then, nothing is being killed. Natural contraception is ideal, but can anyone precisely tell when ovulation takes place. There are two kinds of sperm cells, the x and the y. The y sperms move faster and die sooner. The x sperms move slowly and live longer. Hence the y that meets the egg first, produces a male offspring. If the x sperm gets there sooner, it can wait for the egg to be released because it has a longer life span, thereby producing a female offspring. Couples prefer to use the artificial means which is more precise because they intend to responsibly fulfill their obligation towards their offspring, i.e., provide food, shelter, clothing, education and quality time.

Contraceptives are just a tool!To keep down the population, people have got to have natural love for your planet and your environment, no body is gonna teach anybody anything cause it's something that comes from the inside, I responded to an earlier post why Philippine population is getting out of hand is because a lot of people lack common sense. you simply have to base your family size proportion to your income so you can provide your children with basic needs , it's as simple as that, yeah maybe a little self discipline and control

For me, in my own opinion, i really do think Overpopulation is the number one cause of poverty. And i think one way to limit the population is to introduce and teach the people the right way to use contraception..Yes!! natural contraceptive is effective but the problem is not all people know how to control the urge to do it,right??..;)

Indeed contraceptives are mean to control the population growth but here comes the stupid catholic church thought that contraceptives = abortion. If only Catholic church will be open minded therefore they will agree to RH bill, but the only stopping them to agree is the income that they will get from baptism.

Artificial way? There's only acouple of artificial ways I can think of, and I would like some clarification in that respect. I have a certain feeling though, that contraceptives won't work because they want children. In some poorer countries, children become something like security, because they can feed you when you're older, they can work for you, etc. So the poorer they get, the more children they will have, and the more children they have, the poorer they get. It's like a cycle.
