Why Rich People Should Pay For Poor People's Birth Control

For starters, humans don't NEED birth control or healthcare. Throughout history, prehistory, and even in modern times, humans just reproduce as many offspring as possible. Nature doesn't care about one's own personal happiness level. Nature will just select for the individuals with the highest reproductive fitness. Whoever is able to breed the most number of healthy, viable, fertile offspring will have their genes carried on for generations. This fact works very well throughout history and is complemented by morality (that it is wrong to abort or prevent a pregnancy).

Why Rich People Should Pay For Poor People's Birth Control

However, in modern times, humans face a new problem. Humans have become so successful at breeding and eliminating causes of death that infant mortality and maternity mortality at childbirth decline, and that the life expectancy increases. With more people breeding and less people exiting the world, the world will become exponentially more populous, and soon, humanity will eventually run out of resources and space to live in.

Now, you may think, "Humans should stop engaging in sexual intercourse. No sex means no babies." While that is the most apt, rational response to this overpopulation crisis, that is not practical. And it is not practical, because too many humans are not rational. When you have irrational, stupid humans, someone will always do something stupid. Sometimes, this stupidity leads other humans to make protective guidelines for other humans. Other times, this stupidity makes babies. Combined with a nurturing and safe environment, these stupid babies grow up to become stupid adults, and the cycle repeats itself. Nature doesn't for rational intelligence. It just selects for who will breed the most offspring. If stupid people breed the most, then the future will be full of stupid people.

So, what does this mean for people who are both rich and smart? It means that they should control these stupid people. To control the population of these people, these stupid people should be given birth control. Humans already give birth control to deer and other mammals. So, giving birth control to humans is a non-violent way to prevent human overpopulation. It is possible to just legalize homicide, war, torture, genocide, forced sterilization, and the like on 99% of the global human population, but doing that would be extremely difficult, as most people in the 99% do not want to be selected out of the gene pool. They all want to be in the 1% of breeding individuals. So, what do humans do? The smart ones use their superior intellect to make birth control for the dumb ones. Making birth control costs money, so the rich ones should work with the smart ones to provide funding, legislation, and social pressures to prevent the dumb ones from making babies.

Because the purpose of birth control is contrary to one's evolutionary biology, some humans, persuaded by traditional moral beliefs, may be offended that they and their fellow humans are given birth control. Also, the human psychology must be taken into account. If the humans are made to feel inferior (that they are too stupid/irrational and thus make stupid decisions like having sex without the financial resources to take care of a child), then they will experience reactance and do the opposite of what they should do. They may even make babies just to spite everyone else. That's why creating the right language is important to offer birth control to stupid people who fuck too much.

If humans want to decrease the population, then the number of deaths must be greater than the number of births.

If rich, smart, and powerful people still refuse to finance birth control (including contraception and abortion services) for the poor, then they should not blame the poor for failing to rear the child properly. Poor people do not have the resources to give every child the same lifestyle and standard of living as rich people. Therefore, poor people should be free to let the child die. Let Nature take away the child's life. Infant mortality among the poor will increase, but that is to be expected and should be treated as a positive thing to thin out the number of people entering the world. Clean water access should not be delivered to the poor either, because clean water raises personal hygiene and public sanitation, thereby decreasing infant mortality rate among the poor. If humans want to decrease the population, then the number of deaths must be greater than the number of births.

Therefore, the poor, which constitutes the majority of the human population, should have two options. One, they should let their offspring (at least just the weaker ones) die and deserve no blame for letting them die. Two, they should be given birth control and be made to think that they have some control over their lives, even though it's actually the rich and powerful people who control the lives of the poor people by providing and enforcing the use of birth control.

My personal opinion is that national governments should all favor the latter option over the first option. The first option, while achieves the same goal, causes too much suffering in the world. Nobody wants to see their children die. Even if their children are weak, defected, stupid, or sick, parents generally don't want to see their children die. Parents always think that their weak/defected/stupid/sick children are going to live and thrive despite being the runt of the litter. There should not be a debate about whether or not people should be offered free access to condoms. Offering birth control for the poor (such as free biodegradeable condoms) is the only way for rich people to control the sex lives of poor and stupid people.

  • it should be mandatory for poor area's and those in those area's only allowed 1 child if financially able otherwise such children will be exiled

    • Way too barbaric for the modern world, you really want the government to legislate child-rearing? That is opening the door for corruption and genocide.

    • @Prof_Don hardly barbaric. mandatory birth control like with vaccine's

  • Now, I like the idea, except you haven't accounted for a few things. What about the rich, dumb people? The heirs to wealthy franchises, those who in essence should not be reproducing but still remain wealthy? The poor and smart are not so much a problem, since the cycle of poverty tends to take care of those one way or another.

    Also... we don't need this. We have no conceivable reason for implementing such a policy. The earth is not quite overpopulated. We are merely taxing it's resources far too much, and polluting it a lot. Now, who doe the resource farming and major pollution?
    Companies and factories. I think you've wrongly identified all the problem makers.

  • Complete crap. With falling in birth rates in western countries (espicially in Germany, Japan and Russia) below replacement this paints a very dire future.

  • What a callous rant. Poor people are not by nature stupid, In fact they are very intelligent. They overcome all difficulties to survive in many clever, intelligent unique ways. They adapt, they utilise what they need.
    Why should the wealth of your parents determine who lives and who should be left to die. There are plenty of stupid, unintelligent rich who would have nothing nor the intelligence to make or do anything to survive were it not for their wealth.
    If you want a balanced society, the rich must play their part, or eventually their wealth will be taken from them. That's what history tells us. It's time for you to learn those lessons.

  • I would rather just sterilize the stupid people who reproduce like rabbits and actually encourage self control and restraint. Contrary to popular belief, promiscuity is not natural. It is the result of leftist social engineering and indoctrination from the media. Prior to the Sexual Revolution, most societies across the globe actually were capable of being sexually responsible and waiting until marriage. Which brings me onto my next point, the problem comes not from large, traditional families - most of which are self sufficient and environmentally sustainable like the Amish - but from whores and sluts who have multiple children from multiple different fathers and then drain the state of its resources at the expense of taxpayers like you and I.

  • This is just wrong on so many levels.

    What you're advocating for is theft. I am in the belief that nobody should pay tax that they don't see solid and personal benefits from. Roads are one thing. Paying for someone else's bc/healthcare is a whole other story.

    • I hope you get necrotiseing fascietus and loose all 4 limbs, let's see how you feel about tax and welfare then.

    • @Bezbozhnikustanka Well, if there were actual competition in healthcare, and doctors and hospitals had to actually compete for my business that would be one thing. There would be cheaper prices and better care. Getting healthcare tied up in the government and their cronies is the way to shitty and expensive care.

  • Riddle me this. Which one is cheaper for a society to pay: a pill or social support of a child? The pills are dirty cheap so complaining about how you have to pay for those is NOTHING compared to that the poor woman has a child and has to raise it on welfare.

  • I need birth control for the hormones.
    I need birth control to help my terrible cramps.
    I need birth control to lighten my period.
    Plus the added bonus of not getting pregnant (99.9%).

  • Get your damned socialist hand out of my pocket.
    A better solution is to stop using welfare to pay the poor, retarded and infirm to breed.
    If you cannot feed it, do not breed it.
    If you breed it and cannot feed it, that is not and should never be my problem.

  • "Why war is a good thing." it's the social justice cause rich and powerful people back, while you are arguing over who can wear corn rows.

  • Oh god no. I'm not responsible for your sexual escapades. Simply, NO.

  • How much would it cost?

  • Rich people should pay for poor people's birthday because it's infinitely cheaper than paying for their babies.

    • This I agree with, too bad some people are so bigoted that they can't see this important point that we both see

    • @Prof_Don I don't think its bigoted so much as its being penny wise and pound foolish. If you ask me what the single biggest problem in the black communities its lack of birth control. All problems stem from that. A VERY disciplined and determined person can go to college or trade school while they have a child. I'm not one of those. I struggled even when I was married and had a family supporting me. Now, try that as a single mother. Now, throw in a second child.

  • overpopulation problem is a myth:
    http://vocaroo.com/i/s0CugdPklyze

    • exactly what I said lol. its a good trait to read into subjects so you can know what you are talking about. not a lot of people care enough to do extensive research

    • @imbored2252 yeah, have you heard my audio message? i give concrete examples of countries who will face problems with the lack of reproduction

    • yeah I read it all involved facts and logic. The asker is using backwards logic thinking that handouts will solve the problem you read my opinion?

  • ''the world will become exponentially more populous, and soon, humanity will eventually run out of resources and space to live in.''

    over population is a myth and it has been proven that under tough circumstances/poverty more people reproduce however, that isn't the case anymore as the world becomes more educated and has better living standards. At the rate we are going, we won't over populate this population in the next generation in fact, our population will actually lower a bit and become more steady. dont believe what I am saying? look at the average rate for people who are having kids and compare it to the point where our population nearly sky rocketed in the time span of 100 years. Basically, education is where it starts. Giving people handouts does not help, it feeds into their problem and makes it worse, which is why welfare also states that you have to be doing some kind of labor, and not collecting check as a lot of people just spawned a bunch of babies and lived happily ever after off of other peoples money. The majority of the money that you want for handouts are supposed to go to education and building the infrastructure of this country for better living conditions, not money to help you get birth control so you can do the same thing the next month and not learn what you are doing wrong. thats money wasted, and money does not grow on trees, even for rich people

    • Rich people are scum, you go on about the poor on welfare not working, what about trust fund brats? They go their entire lives without doing a day's work, and, they enjoy a far higher standard of luveing than the recipients is welfare. I'd like to round up and kill everyone who was born into a rich family.

    • @Bezbozhnikustanka get help

    • I don't need to "get help", it's idiots like you who don't understand Marx's "Theory Of Surplus Labour" who need help. I'm sure there's a website that'll explain it briefly, Das Kapital is a bit long winded, but, very thorough.

  • You lost all my respect in the first paragraph. "it is wrong to abort or prevent a pregnancy"
    I didn't know such a ridiculous sentence existed, but then I should stop being surprised by the stupidity on this site.

  • The only arias of the world where the population is actually growing is in impoverished places like the Middle East and Africa. Good luck getting a handle on that mess. FYI, in first world countries, including America, all of Europe, Russia, Japan, Australia and even China are already in a death spiral of dangerously low birth rates. That's why our countries are now being invaded by third world immigration. Every government needs a growing tax base so if the native population stops having children than they'll fill in the baby deficit by bringing in foreigners from third word countries.

    This My Take is so full of shit, and on so many levels, that I don't even know where to begin...

    • An aging population dooms a country

  • With a tiered income tax, the "rich" people are already paying for way more than "poor" folks. Condoms are a necessity, birth control are not. Quality condoms are free of charge in any pharmacy around here.

    I wonder who's paid for that.. hmm.. the "rich" folks, I guess.

    • All tax is paid by poor people. Only people you go to work in overalls create wealth, people who go to "work" in suits and ties create nothing, they're parasites stealing "Surplus Labour" from the workers, all the money they are paid, notice I didn't use the word "earn", all the money they are paid was earned by the labour of the poor slobs on the factory floor, wealth is only created through the application of manual labour to raw materials. Welfare is just returning some of the money those who controls the means of production stole from those who operate the means of production.

    • @Bezbozhnikustanka We live in different economies by the sound of it.

  • The rich consume more per head than the poor. One fewer rich person would reduce greenhouse gas emotions more than 100 fewer poor people. My solution, kill everyone on The Forbes Magazine's Rich List.

  • We could start by totally eliminating immigration from countries where people have so many children (on average) that apparently they haven't figured out what causes them yet.

    • That's why countries like Germany with low birth rates want immigration no matter the cost as there is no replacement for the current workforce and no one to take care of pensioners in the future.

    • @DonkeyRick69 No, only their PM wants immigration no matter the cost. Most Germans want less immigration.

    • You guys need to be more like Poland and Hungary and hold your leaders accountable.
