Population control or no population control? This is an argument that is now being brought to our attention worldwide. Yes, there are problems with each choice, but one could say that population control takes away everyone’s God-given right to reproduce. As humans, everyone must take in consideration the belief of others. While it is true that our world is being overpopulated, polluted, and being struck by crime, everyone must remember the freedom all humans deserve to have. There will be problems no matter which decision is made, but giving humans their freedom to reproduce should be a priority.

For example, if one tells a child not to touch something, he will automatically want to touch the object. Therefore, if the government takes away the right to reproduce then all humans will want to disobey the government.

Also, if the governments only allow one child per family, the governments would soon have to make abortions legal. This would only tell humans that if the family already has one child it is fine to have intercourse and get pregnant as long as the baby is aborted.

Therefore, if the baby is female, the mother will ask for the baby to be aborted. According to Fox News, "The Chinese government 's tally states that there were 9.2 million abortions in the year of 2008." The legalization and the rising of abortions would just cause a new kind of conflict (Fox
