Mandatory abortions if you go over.


If you can't afford to have kids, it should be illegal to even have one. Good luck getting that past the ACLU, though.

Eventually it will have to be. Honestly, what do people expect is going to happen when we're literally out of room?


Will likely never be an issue since people would starve first. And the existing population would be a lot smaller than it is today if we weren't paying single moms to get pregnant via multiple men.

Space isn't a problem at all, in the slightest. It's over consumption that is screwing things over. Most people in countries like the U.S. use (and out right waste) literally dozens of times more resources than than people in third world countries.

As for the topic question though, no. We just need to stop being so wasteful, however that goes contrary to human nature, so... Yeah the world is going to just keep on spiralling down the drain.


Not even a waste issue.

That'd be nice, but it would never get approved.

Best case we can hope for is a reform of the social safety net to make it more punishing to have more kids rather than more rewarding, and requiring every kid learn about contraception as part of health class plus taking steps to make condoms cheap/free to obtain.


Or just pull the incentives. As it is, condoms already ARE cheap so that's not a real issue.

And what if something happens and you no longer CAN provide for your giant brood spawn? Stuff happens, people get injured, lose their high paying career and never reach nearly the same income potential, etc...


If you lived your life based on worst-case "what ifs" you'd never get anything done.
