"The Overpopulation Scare"

Thomas Storck questions the "article of unquestionable faith that the world has a population problem" — The Problem Is Not Too Many People. Mr. Storck concludes that "governments of Western nations would rather kill Third World babies with abortion or maim Third World mothers with chemical contraceptives than inconvenience ourselves even a little bit."

The article is thirteen years old, and much has come to light in the intervening years supporting Mr. Storck's research, but there are still many people who follow butterfly scientist Paul R. Ehrlich, despite the fact that his 1968 claim that "[i]n the 1970s and 1980s . . . hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death" didn't exactly come true.
