STOP MAKING BABIES
“Democracy cannot survive overpopulation.
Human dignity cannot survive overpopulation.
Convenience and decency cannot survive overpopulation.
As you put more and more people onto the world,
the value of life not only declines, it disappears.”

drowning, burning and slaughtering each other.”
