How do we convince poor and/or less educated people to stop reproducing? I'm actually being serious here.

I don't believe we can, nor should we try. Maybe a better solution is to give them the education and choices required to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It would be a pretty cheap thing to do and much less expensive then having to pay for another welfare baby. Just my thoughts.

I thought you were being sarcastic when I read this. Then I realised it may not be the case in the US. Trust me, it doesn't work. We have the above and there are still people spawning recklessly and damaging another generation born into poverty, ignorance, bad parenting and all round stupid choices.

I suggest 3 year implants for every girl aged 14 unless there is a specific medical case against it. Okay, there are some who will get pregnant the day after it is removed, but at least they've had a chance to get through basic schooling by then.

Damn, V...that was cold.

I'm cut from a different cloth...I've never wanted kids, so I was religious about contraception.
