Many western countries already have birth rates lower than the replacement rate. Besides, it is third world countries with high poverty and high birth rates that are he worst polluters.
It would be politically incorrect to point out that all the runaway population growth is occurring in the developing world. Positively racist to suggest they implement similar policies to reduce child bearing there. No, in typical liberal/left fashion, the proposal is to punish countries with at or below replacement birth rates further. Yeah, and let’s encourage people from those overpopulated countries to come here and have more babies so the tax base won’t decline and the politicians can buy their votes with handouts. Sounds incredibly familiar somehow.
Swell.
