I don't know if I said it in this thread or not, but we will have the opposite problem of under population in the future. This problem might even begin towards the end of my lifetime.

We currently massively subsidize children by basing welfare on the number of children a person has. The way I see it, if a person hasn't figured out how to support their children by providing adequate resources, they probably shouldn't be raising the children in the first place. Perhaps custody of the children should go to the state until the individual can demonstrate a minimum level of responsibility. I see the slippery slope this could take though, and generally believe that more government is usually the wrong solution. But why subsidize poor decisions?

VR is going to negatively affect population growth. Once men get hooked on VR porn, real women won't be as appealing anymore. I see this as a real threat to healthy relationships and steady population numbers.

Regarding Planned Parenthood; it was started by white racists as a way to reduce the black population. While the organization may not have this as a stated goal now, 40% of abortions are from black women, but black women only represent 13% of all women in the US. PP still promotes a barbaric practice that address the symptom of a problem (unwanted child) rather than focusing only on the problem itself (unwanted conception). People are right to be furious that their money is extracted by force from them to promote barbaric practices.

That said, I see the value of some of PP education and resources.

BTW- very off-topic, but the pull out method is as effective as condom use in preventing pregnancy. There is basically no reason that even the most unprepared sexual encounters results in conception.
