The problem is, the line does eventually blur between presenting options, coercion, and outright force. It happens all over the world.

As I said: you are confused between incentives and coersion,.

I really don't think it is our business to encourage the underdeveloped countries to stop reproducing.

Which part of the previous post were you unable to read. No one is stopping them from reproducing; rather, one helps them to be in control of that process to the extent that they are able to bear its consequences.

I shall not write further, since you are either unable to read (which is possible since you misunderstand the meaning the words) or chose not to.

It never takes folks like you long to descend into insults. (I can't read, etc.) I'll respond with facts.

"No one is stopping them from reproducing..."

I am afraid various governments are doing just that. Consider these links:

http://www.pop.org/main.cfm?id=94&r1=1.00&r2=1.00&r3=0&r4=0&level=2&eid=422

"PRI has case files on 40 women who complained unofficially of abuse by IMSS and other government hospitals and clinics. These cases prove that abuses do occur, tell us of the nature of these abuses and suggests what a systematic survey might yield in terms of nature, type, and frequency of violations of mother’s rights. One woman agreed to a cesarean delivery, but sterilization was performed at the same time, without her consent. Another had two intrauterine devices inserted by the doctor. Double insertion allows the physician to remove one at a later date yet leave the woman unable to conceive."

Forced Sterilization in Mexico

I won't even go into China, where it is abundantly obvious to all what is going on.

The facts are, coercion to stop the poor from having babies is going on. I think it is a natural outgrowth of the belief that says some folks should not have children, and it is our job to stop them.
