Then there's the massive problem of religion.
This I agree with.
Holdren and Ehrich are not advocating this though. These institutions remain untouched just the bodies and minds of human beings will bear the brunt. Poor brown and black one's in particular.
I totally agree that religion has a lot to answer for in this matter. A secular society is the only way to go with laws to protect all equally. People can have their superstitions by all means but in private. It should not be entertained in public or in social policy. All religions seek to control women and their sexuality. When women are able to access education, have a high degree of literacy, and are able to make independent choices about their life and fertility it is shown that women will have smaller families.
Rampant capitalism is not a sustainable practice and needs to go the way of the dodo.
