Do you think that rapidly growing countries should adopt family planning policies?

So long as the family planning policies are educational
and voluntary, I think that it would be a good idea for countries that are growing
rapidly to create family planning policies.


As I said in my
answer to your other question, compulsory family planning goes against basic human
rights.  However, if the government can persuade people to
limit the size of their families, there is much less reason to worry about a loss of
human rights.  The government should simply inform people about the benefits of having
smaller families and, perhaps, give them easy access to contraceptives so that they can
limit their family sizes if they so choose.  So long as the government does this, it
will not be forcing people to do anything and will therefore not be infringing on their
human rights.
