THE perceptive column on population by my fellow columnist Yen Makabenta avers to the meeting of minds between the Church and anti-population planners on the issue of planned parenthood. He quotes from a book of former British Prime Minister Lady Thatcher the following: “Perhaps the single most pressing problem for Western economies and societies is demographic imbalance in part reflecting the sharp decline in fertility rates. Underpopulation not overpopulation is the West’s worry. After years during which it was thought irresponsible to have more than two children, there is even talk of a return to natalist policies of encouraging larger families.”
