Family planning and slower population growth have a positive impact on nearly all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Planet and population are reaching tipping points we must address. Here are the goals, and as you read them, you will see about the importance as you think about the world in general:
1. No poverty
2. Zero hunger
3. Good health and well-being
4. Quality education
5. Gender equality
6. Clean water and sanitation
7. Affordable and clean energy
8. Decent work and economic growth
9. Industry, innovation, and infrastructure
10. Reduced inequalities
11. Sustainable cities and communities
12. Responsible consumption and production*
13. Climate action
14. Life below water
15. Life on land
16. Peace, justice, and strong institutions
17. Partnerships for the goals

Family planning through abstinence and responsible action is always a welcome and wonderful thing. Family planning through abortion, on the other hand, is about as hypocritical as Nancy Pelosi apologizing for getting "set up" by a hair salon.
But I cannot agree that population control has much bearing on some of those considerations you've listed. I will admit that I do not know what some of the goals actually mean.
How does decreased population growth positively impact [4] the quality of education, [5] gender equality ([10]or other inequality), [16] peace & justice (just to pick out a select few)?
-
I know many here dont care.
God promised the earth would be inhabited forever.He gave mankind the ability to have children.Dontcha think before the world got over-populated he would do something about that?
Remember he told A&E to be fruitful when they were created.
Many just dont have a clue until they face hardship or their last breath and then say,"God help me".
-
so bill gates and soros are going to make this happen with vaccines, so don't be a sheep
-
I also agree with family planning. People should be more responsible and not have more children than they can afford to support and feed. I was responsible and only had 1 child which I took total responsibility for (no government assistance). I worked 2 jobs to raise her and put her thru college. Other people on government assistance seem to be multiplying like rabbits. I'm all for helping out the needy family, but why should I have to pay to support families that choose not to use birth control and have too many kids?
-
Let's start with YOUR family!
-
I believe if you can afford them, have kids. We wanted to have 3 to 4 kids when we got married. We were going to work and guarantee each child things the needed, but would not have a $1000 coat, but would never want for anything important. Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way, and God only gave us 2 children, who we love to death. I agree I resent having to pay to support your kids when you continually have them. If you can’t afford kids, don’t have them, some families have 8, 9, 10 and no real income.
-
1000s of abortions continue to be done.Does anyone think they can tell someone how many kids they can have????
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Agree that education on family planning plays a very important role as well as elevating living standards.

He hasn't done something about a lot of things. That's why he provided free will and brains!

That is really an ignorant remark to a serious issue! But it's what I would expect from some.

It isn't about telling anybody, although China certainly did when they saw the pace of population was going to outrun their ability to feed their country. It's about limited, finite resources on this planet and exponentially expanding population globally. At some point, it will need to be seriously addressed if we want to continue to live as we would want.
And, if there are as you say, "1000s" of abortions, many women must want one for whatever personal reasons they have.

I would have to look into these goals specifically, but a little common sense starts with resources that can be applied in each situation.

A tenant has free will and has decided to break the rules from everything his landlord told him.He gets evicted.
Do you really think a loving God will put up with ALL the rubbish on earth?In his eyes its only goin on 6 days from his timetable.His patience gives many a chance to conform and not be destroyed.If he allowed all this nonsense to continue forever it wouldnt be saying much about him.I dont think a God that didnt care would send his son to earth to die an excruciating humiliating death for nothing.
8 However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah* as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.+ 9 Jehovah* is not slow concerning his promise,+ as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.+ 10 But Jehovah’s* day+ will come as a thief,+ in which the heavens will pass away+ with a roar,* but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be exposed.+
From 2nd Peter 3:8-9
BTW i know U could care less RE bible and God.Others are reading this too.

I don't think people think about population control. I once talk to an individual who said he would not bother to have 1 child, he wanted 10. He now has 7. He is one of those who doesn't give a damn reducing the number of children to have.

And what manmade government is gonna fix this?LOL!!
Next time you say The Lords prayer <if U even do>I wanna remind you there is a line that say,"Let your kingdom <government>come ON EARTH as it is in heaven.
And a reminder what Jesus told Pilate,"My kingdom is NO part of this world".

No it is a truthful remark you can't handle. You want to tout population control so let's start it with YOUR FAMILY!
No, you just want to "control" every one else. ::)

So you only have one child? Or no children? You think it is okay to tell people they can only have one kid and if they have twins then one of them will have it's neck broken so it dies?

This sounds too much like communist China to me. No thanks!

Truly sad how blind many are.
Another good example would be natural disasters.....earthquakes,hurricanes etc.Would a loving Creator do this?Of course not.The bible answers what he told Adam after he disobeyed."Cursed is the ground on your account".
Throw in Satans influence and man being prone to inherited sin its a recipe for all the rubbish on earth.

I vote no on population control if we're voting. I have 13 grandchildren from two of my three children. I couldn't be prouder of them and they will all be great assets to society. Children are definitely a blessing from God. :rainbow:
It's strange how some people would rather terminate their babies than have them while others know what a blessing they are and have several children. Maybe it all balances out somehow. I just hate to think what kind of people we may be missing out on when they don't even have a chance to live their lives at all. :'(
-
I can't argue with any of your comments, but I also can't help but thin of the Chinese one child policy. It has created problems for the country now that there is a generation gap with few people and an overflow of older people. Population Control must be carefully thought out and considered the country and generations to come.

Balance out?
The Bible says God 'made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth' (Acts 17:26). Every human being is precious in the eyes of God -- so precious that he sent his only son into the world to redeem us from sin's curse.

Overpopulation, overcrowding kills.
More demands for products, supplies are not enough.
Do you think you can survive?
Population control may be the answer.

I bring you back to Jesus famous Sermon on the mountain.He didnt wanna send them home not eating.He fed 1000s of them.
He wasnt worried about over-population who came to listen to that famous and historical sermon.

Maybe, your a george soros and bill gates supporter. God fixes all population. The farther away people get from him the less he helps and thats how his system has worked for thousands of years.

There will always be poverty, poor education, hunger, poor industry and infrastructure and/or wages, and what's that consumption and production mean? Rationing of food and what you are allowed to buy? As for the others, they are good thoughts and that's all they are--thoughts and wishful thinking. Greed controls the world. Government already controls so many items on your list while lawmakers are above whatever law is made.
What scares me is how much this sounds like something out of a horror/sci-fi movie and more like total control of the people, what we eat, where we live, approval of which industries can operate, and using China's birth control to achieve your wish list. That is not a free world.

Has anyone noticed how some people can take two words out of your post and just rip on you mercilessly without considering the context? Just pick out the words they don't like and then make some sort of religious statement that makes them feel better than everyone else. :angel11:
I think it would be nice if when you read posts, read them in their entirety and get the whole picture first. Then calmly state your own point of view, if different. Or heavenly days, perhaps agree with them if you agree with the whole post.
Why is there so much dissension, for dissension's sake, on this forum. It used to be quite fun to read remarks but it's become a battlefield of sorts for some. When did this become a forum for protests against someone's point of view rather than insightful conversations? :-\

All i did was ask you explain balance out.Its like you are saying God intended man to die.
He didnt and i used the bible to back that up.I find it hard to believe you read it and dont have a clue.
Jesus scolded others that warped the truth too.
If you left balance out your post would have made sense.
Rip you apart?Where???I explained using the bible.Rip apart those that will murder.Wake up.
I remind you man wasnt put on earth to die and I think a loving Creator could solve a population problem if ever it came about instead of abortions etc.......as well as fix ALL the other problems on earth when SOME of us would prefer to "Let your kingdom come on earth..........and be freed from this manmade/Satanic rule.
The main theme of the bible is Gods kingdom that he has appointed his son Jesus as king to rule...NOT Trump or mankind!!To bring peace,security and life to ALL that will accept His rule and LOVE him and accept the ransom sacrifice Jesus made to for us NOT to die.
https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-no3-2019-sep-oct/why-we-grow-old-die/
You better examine your religeon.
I remind you God warned A&E if they disobeyed they would die.If he wanted them to die,why even bother warning them?Its like it would have been his plan.But it WASNT!!!
You think hes sending Jesus to die an excruciating death as a ransom if Gods plan was for man to die??
BTW i remind you,i read your whole post.You shoulda left "balance out"OUT!!That made NO sense to defend not supporting over-population and balancing out when man wasnt put here to die to start.
So in summary to SIMPLIFY for you,God didnt create man to die so the earth would become over-populated as you said in "balance out".
Yes i was guilty taking those 2 words and correcting you using the bible.I know where U stand on it already before i did....but as i have said many times......others read this too.
The fact you hope to go to heaven when you die allows me to know how U think.
Using bible again.....dust doesnt go to heaven or is life as God reminded Adam and Lazarus spoke of no heavenly bliss or hellfire after Jesus resurrected him.Jesus said he was asleep.

Yes you are right.As long as Satan and man are in control there will always be misery.
Now ask yourself a question if you think a loving Creator exists.Is he responsible for this and if he isnt will he act and fix it?
The bible answers if UR interested and if NOT enjoy your 80/90 yrs and as the bible says,"Let us eat drink and be merry,for tomorrow we die.
Mankind is 6000 yrs old.How much more time do U need before you realize mankind and Satan cant rule successfully?
Did U ever read a history book?

I believe we should be allowed to state our opinions on the post without fear of being chastised or maligned.
Shouldn't it be a form open to all opinions, one's own POV; no matter how far out into outer space they are considered by others.
There's already too much hate and dissension in this world. Let's lighten up and have fun and discuss issues without malice. :highfive: Or if it really makes you feel better, go ahead and be mean. Give it your best shot. ::)

You are a stickler for those that cant spell.
I am a stickler for bible truths.
BTW i am not mean.You cant handle someone speaking bible truths with authority.
I dont have a problem with those that disagree with bible truths.The bible actually says the road is broad and spacious to destruction and narrow for those finding life.So i expect your kind of behavior and others.
A slave isnt higher then his master.If they did what they did to Jesus,those supporting him should also expect it.
You ask the question when others put down Trump why?I have answered in many posts how i feel about him,but i dont vote and also know whoever is president wont get it done either......so remain neutral.
But from a perspective whats going on in this country the last 6 months,i think its pretty foolish to hear Trump spouting MAGA!!!LOL!!
And yet i know the next president whoever that is will also have his hands full cos the bible backs up we are in the last days of this system and long ago it said "Man has dominated himself to his own injury."
It doesnt belong to man to govern himself and succeed says the bible.6000 yrs of his rule proves that.....of course with a little help from Satan.

I remember when I first started posting in these forums and even saying how helpful people were and how it was fun to post in here. Then the attacks started when someone did not agree with what I said or how I believe. Seems like now that is about all it is. If you will notice there is not much activity in the forums lately.

FC members,CG created over 130 posts from Aug to Sept.Please note her last line RE activity in the forum.LOL!!
I remember yrs ago how there were a few creeps that ruined this forum.They are gone.It has been much better.If you take away CGs controversial BS it will be even better.
Dont ya just love it when others say everyone is entitled to their own views or opinions?Then when someone disagrees with theirs they wanna know why...LOL!
So here is how they think.....as long as Hitler,Bin Laden,Manson thought what they were doing was OK dont question them....LOL!!!
They Also remind me of Jesus enemies who told Jesus if he was Gods son to save himself after before that he proved beyond a doubt he was Gods son.
I really wish others that dont agree with what i have to say here either ignore me or put me on ignore.I have been on here for a yr...have 700 posts and been thanked 308 Xs,I feel very good contributing to many.
Then CG gives the line,i dont shove my beliefs on anyone.Thats actually good if she doesnt share her BS with anybody.
All i know is Jesus taught his followers to go preach the truth RE God and his kingdom and the JWs are doing that in 240 lands.Millions of hrs......freeeeeee.
Bible says stones would cry out if they had to declare the truth.

well, after over population than the big death, handful of humans get to start over without technology they get to put their own spin on everything once it starts over. geez we just got the space ships, maybe we will be the aliens. I tink our home is farther away than mars.

The league of Nations,that became the UN after the WWs couldnt create world peace.
Need we say more?
“Be Fruitful, Multiply, Fill the Earth”
TO THE first human pair, Adam and Eve, God stated, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the domestic animals, and all the living things that crawl on the earth!” (Gen. 1:28, AT) That this is God’s purpose regarding the earth is also made clear at Isaiah 45:18, where we are told that God formed the earth to be inhabited.
Since that is God’s purpose regarding the earth, it will be accomplished, for he further states: “I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.”—Isa. 46:11.
Cant be any clearer what God intended the human race to do when he created them.
Of course Satan and A&E threw a monkey wrench in it....but as the bible says his plan will still be fulfilled and i dont think God is too worried about over-population.

You have some valid points.
