Natural selection, the primary force that drives evolution, is based on the idea that successful organisms not only survive, but reproduce themselves. Indeed, it is impossible for evolution to occur without reproduction. Yet the very intelligence that we humans evolved enables us to realize that if we continue to reproduce without restraints of some kind, we will eventually destroy our natural environments and deplete our natural resources, thus destroying ourselves in the end.
Therefore, attempts have been made to make birth control, abortion, and sterilization freely available to all. The problem, however, is that those who for religious or ideological reasons reject or ignore these efforts continue to reproduce more than those who accept them, and thus their children end up becoming more in the next generation, passing on their backward and irrational values, and thus they ultimately defeat the purpose of birth control. The same forces of evolution that made man and all other organisms works against his efforts to stop his own destruction.
There is only one realistic way to save ourselves: Make sterilization MANDATORY for every woman who has had at least two children (or maybe even just one, in badly overpopulated areas), regardless of race, religion, social class, or age. Then the forces of natural selection won’t be a problem, for both beleivers and opponents of birth control will be on an equal playing field.
And for those bleeding hearts who say that forcible sterilization violates personal rights and therefore is dangerous, I say, “You are as irrational as outright opponents of birth control! The total downfall of humanity is MORE dangerous than any controversial procedure! When you are dying or in grave danger of death, personal rights are the least of your worries.”
