There is a moral difference between killing people and giving them birth control. The better argument against this policy, I think, involves whether they would use the condoms, or it’s just an empty gesture.
There is no question though that runaway population growth in the third world is causing problems here in the US. The world consumption of oil, for example, would be a lot less if there were fewer people consuming it. A lot of the illegal immigration problem in the US was brought on by Mexico’s population problems. I think the Muslim world in particular needs birth control. We can’t ignore this problem, unfortunately.
They can always fill them with drinking water.
Nonsense. The problem isn't excess population, but stupid government policies (both here and abroad).
The world consumption of oil, for example, would be a lot less if there were fewer people consuming it.
Unlikely. If the world population were smaller, there would simply be a smaller market (less demand, less pressure for exploration, etc.).
A lot of the illegal immigration problem in the US was brought on by Mexico’s population problems.
This is more baseless conjecture. The illegal immigration problem in the US was brought about by bad policies from the time of FDR via the Bracero program. The pressures on the Mexican side that allowed the problem to continue were due to incompetence and corruption of their federal government. It continued on our side due to a federal government that refused to do its job to protect our borders because it thought we needed the extra labor to sustain economic growth.
I think the Muslim world in particular needs birth control.
What the Muslim world needs is to change religions.

The "problem" is people like you. Your kind caused most of the misery in the 20th century.
I am so tired of their never being any solution except to kill all the babies or make sure they never exist. What do you think will happen to the population if everyone faithfully uses the provided condoms.
Have you read The Population Bomb? Sounds like you would like it. It explains the population crisis very nicely. Of course, the book was wrong as history shows, but the theory is still being pushed.
