Conservatism engenders cherub-faced babies.

If a Democratic president enters the White House about a year from now, some experts in family planning anticipate a boon for mankind: a greater effort by the United States government to restrain world population growth.
As it is, when a baby born today enters kindergarten, the number of people in the world will have grown by more than 300 million. That's on top of the 6.7 billion individuals alive today. That four-year population-growth projection is comparable to the 303 million people now living in the US – the third most populous nation in the world after China and India.
The Bush administration has handed over population policies "to the far right," charges J. Joseph Speidel, a population expert at the Bixby Center for Reproductive Health Research & Policy, in San Francisco. "I hope we will have a more science-based population policy in the future rather than an ideology-based policy."
Should Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) of New York or another Democratic candidate become president, Mr. Speidel and other enthusiasts for more family planning assistance anticipate, among other things, a quick repudiation of the Mexico City Policy, or as its opponents call it, the "global gag rule." This policy makes organizations ineligible for US family planning money if they use non-US funds to provide legal abortions, counsel or refer for abortions, or lobby for the legalization of abortion in their own countries.
Some family-planning advocates see the current tribal conflicts in Kenya as one indication of the need for greater efforts to provide poor women with the ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies and thus limit the size of their families.

Also, why is it the United States business to "restrain population growth" in other countries?
Zero Population Growth is an interim goal since it is more palatable to the countries where it is being implemented than the real goal of reducing population a lot. The Democrats own this program and everything else spins off it.
Ain’t liberalism wonderful?
Stop sending my money to foreign countries for any form of “family planning”.

“I hope we will have a more science-based population policy
lol! Freaking moron.
Any 10 year old can tell you how to do that! LOL!
Actually, the dems have a great plan.
Bring in every possible person in the world to America, and abort like hell.
America? Whats that?
Just build a fence and you can slow population growth.
Scientism
Unlike the use of the scientific method as only one mode of reaching knowledge, scientism claims that science alone can render truth about the world and reality. Scientism's single-minded adherence to only the empirical, or testable, makes it a strictly scientifc worldview, in much the same way that a Protestant fundamentalism that rejects science can be seen as a strictly religious worldview. Scientism sees it necessary to do away with most, if not all, metaphysical, philosophical, and religious claims, as the truths they proclaim cannot be apprehended by the scientific method. In essence, scientism sees science as the absolute and only justifiable access to the truth.
Well, I think I’d be more depressed, irritable and cranky with a democrat in office so may not be as appealing to my spouse. That, and not sure how “in the mood” I’d be after watching the evening news with Hillary’s mug up there all the time.
Don't worry. If that hag is elected, and has constant TV time, every man in the US will be impotent and sterile, by Nature or by fiat.

“Some family-planning advocates see the current tribal conflicts in Kenya as one indication of the need for greater efforts to provide poor women with the ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies and thus limit the size of their families.”
now maybe I need to read up more on what is going on in Kenya...but I’m going to take a wild guess here and say the conflicts have absolutely nothing to do with family planning.

Do you oppose illegal immigration, as I do? Some of the major anti-immigration groups (FAIR, NumbersUSA) are actually anti-population groups who oppose immigration as just part of their arsenal including abortion, sterilizations, and one-child policies similar to that of Communist China.
I am making efforts to restrict world population growth. I don’t have indiscriminate sex and I don’t contribute to organizations like “Feed the Children” that interfere with natural selection.
That’s my soon-to-be niece in the photo, as well as her food source to the left.
1. depress the population in non-Muslim areas of the world and strengthen Islam.
2. create massive resentment and opposition to the US in all of the pro-family areas of the world, be they Christian, Muslim, or Hindu.
I want to hear about slowing population growth in an already overcrowded America first.
All we have to do is end legal immigration and our population growth would be at replacement levels.
After that, they can talk about the rest of the world.
