If people are starving in other countries due to overpopulation, they can have fewer children the way responsible Americans and Europeans do.

There are a lot of burdensome people in the world. Killing them in the womb, as you suggest, is one (immoral) solution. Killing the elderly might help. Forced sterilization could do it (that one doesn't bother me, as applied to the irresponsible--isn't bringing children you can't feed into the world a form of child abuse?).

Would you support forced sterilization? If that were done, we wouldn't argue back and forth over whether the fetus is a person, as we both could agree that no one is being killed.
