Population Growth

World Population:                                                                                                                                          Jan, 2024

The World’s global food and water resources are insufficient now, today,  and will only become increasing depleted over time.  The demands for these life sustaining items are increasing, as the population continues to increase, while the supply is stagnant and decreasing. 

World Population and Contraception

Make contraceptives and education for birth control available globally.  Developing nations cannot provide food, safe water or shelter for their burgeoning populations.  Providing birth control would give the world a break from the continuing population explosions without supportive resources.  It would give the world a chance to evaluate humanitarian aid, global resources, future needs and resource balancing.  It would decrease famines and needless deaths. 

The Catholic Church may be rethinking its position on birth control.  In a WSJ article Dec 31, 2022 by Francis Rocca he discusses the Catholic “Humanae Vitae”, a prohibition of contraception as set out in St. Paul VI’s 1968 encyclical.  “The core of St. Paul Vi’s argument in Humanae Vitae was based not on biology but on what he called “the inseparable connection, established by God, which man on his own initiative may not break, between the unitive significance and the procreative significance” in sexual intercourse between spouses.  In other words, every human life should be the result of an act of love, and no instance of sexual intercourse can be fully loving unless it is open to the potential for new life.”

Two dozen Catholic theologians, philosophers and other scholars met in Rome in December 2022 for a three day conference organized to defend and explain the Humanae Vitae.

Welfare/Public Assistance/ NorPlant

When a person applies for public assistance/ welfare/ food stamps/ housing assistance they should be advised they will be given a NorPlant insertion that prevents pregnancy for up to five years.  If a person needs government assistance, they will not be bringing additional children to the government for support .  It is intended to reduce the responsibilities of the person on government assistance so they can work their way out of their reliance on government support instead of remaining on government assistance and bringing new children into the government programs.
