The Government has the right to demand birth control

We are all aware how the human population has exponentially increased over the years. And although technology helps with food production, medicines and the like, we cannot maintain a healthy population. Poverty is on the rise...With too many ppl to feed, I believe the government has every right to interfere and demand birth control. Birth control(please do not misinterpret, isn't an equivalent to abortion)

What are your views?

P.S-This debate will not have any religious arguments

Poverty is not on the rise...

It is on the verge of falling, and is falling exponentially, as far as I can see in Bangladesh.

Day by day, we and everybody else is getting richer. We are not experiencing a fall in standard of living or reduction in our real income or whatsoever. Lets face it, we are getting more affluent day by day.

The govt. cannot force us to use pills, IUDs, diaphragm and others. It's the personal preference of somebody, whether h/she wants to use birth control methods or not (I know that many teenage girls take pills, even if it is not necessary for them!)

Of course the govt has the right, but it is of no use. We don't need no birth controls because we are getting richer day by day. And we will be able to feed our kids, no problem with that. But the thing is entirely upon personal preference, whether h/she wants to use or not.

Cheers!

let's face the reality
A small fraction of the world is what you see. How many kids in Bangladesh can afford to study in an international school like yours?
The is still a vast economic chasm between the rich and poor. Just because the country as a whole shows a higher GDP per capita, more growth, a better Balance of payments does not mean it is in a better state in real(practical economics)...Just because something looks good on the outside doesn't mean the core is clean....

Your family may be able to fend for 4 kids but there r others who cannot.....And is a responsible global citizen, it is our duty to take initiatives....but when people stick to their norms, a government has to make new norms to deal with it....Convincing people is of no use, restrictions have to be made....

I am a single child :)
In my school too, we have CAS compulsory for A levels, wherein we teach rag-pickers and beggars from the street about how to go about earning, how to stay clean and hygienic and not fall ill and how to plan a family....since their family literally multiplies and they cover the entire lane.....
When we get outta home and see the entire situation, we pity it, but there is no use of the pity, unless it invokes u to take an action
Hence, curbing population growth is a must

Oh, dear, I have two brothers, and no sisters!

I wish I had one!

By the way, what is CAS? ???

nid404:
It's a program Creativity Action Service....this is compulsory for all students in our school, regardless of whether you are ib or A levels
