Most 1st world countries already have low birth rates, some so low they are negative replacement rates. Look at Japan, Italy, Russia, UK, etc. ALL have less-than-replacement birth rates. (Most US population growth is from immigration)But in the less developed countries we see the expansion of the world population. So how do we deal with this without being labeled everything under the sun; racist/islamophobe/anti-X/etc?
