In order for me to answer your question, I need to understand what you mean by "family planning strategy" and at what point abortion would be used to implement that "strategy". My point is the near monolithic view of some that we're in a population explosion with no end in site is debatable. And there are two sides to most of these gloom and doom scenario's. Most people only allow one side of the issue to enter their mind. The planet can sustain many times 8 billion people. So the inference that 8 or 9 billion is some huge problem is misguided IMO. Most of the problems related to poverty and starvation are caused by lack of economic freedom. Not by the size of the population. If population size or density alone were the cause, Japan would be an economic wasteland. Freedom begets the creation of wealth, freedom creates the environment upon which higher living standards occur. If wealthy societies focused more of their energy toward changing the conditions in other countries related to economic freedom, poverty and starvation would be more effectively addressed. Michael
