Because, face it, that's what forcing a woman to > have a child she does not want amounts to. Nowadays we know what causes pregnancy. There is little excuse for "I didn't know". Also, doesn't "I don't want" sound just the least bit selfish? Do you define facing the consequences of one's actions "slavery"? > In addition, a State that controls human reproduction is, by > definition, a large, intrusive government. I can't recall saying anything about The State. So happens I'm an Anarchist. The mere concept of government is, by your definition, slavery. > I'm not even going to go into the fact that the earth is already > overpopulated The whole planet?

Sure there is; we just need to quit screwing around with idiocies like Social Programs that don't (and as set up and implemented, can't) work, organized warfare, organized religion (despite appearances, they're not quite the same thing) and figure out how to get the hell off the planet. Malthus works in a closed system, just like thermodynamics and for similar reasons. Open the system and he's irrelevant. Mark L. Fergerson
