This unfortunately sounds like, "I'm sorry I'm prosperous and have all the food and you don't, but that just means I should have all the kids I want, and you shouldn't have any."
Something else that's waay overdue: A hard look at "Rights."
There are rights... and there are rights. And no matter what idealists (and most Americans) want to believe, there are natural and practical limits to
all rights. You've heard the saying, "Your right to swing your fist ends before it touches my nose." Well, our right to have children ends at the irrevocable damage our numbers do to the planet, and the forced starvation of entire peoples caused by the hoarding of food by other peoples.
