OK

(A) THE UNITED STATES: The National Family Planning Program, Equity in Prescription Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage Act (EPICC), Abstinence Only. AROUND THE WORLD: United States Agency for International Development (USAID), United Nations Population Fund, Childhood Mortality. All of these programs help to control the population using different tech.

OK

(B) Migration happens when freedom, disaster, economic opportunity, environmental degradation, and desperation are distributed so unevenly across the globe that people are forced to make difficult choices: stay and barely survive, or move and possibly thrive. Sierra Club founder John Muir, an immigrant himself, once noted that "when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." Today, the Club’s International Program mirrors that sentiment with multifaceted programs encompassing not only population issues but also human rights, fair trade, and environmentally sustainable development. Population and Consumption Ever-accelerating human consumption of natural resources lies at the root of many of our global environmental problems. Current consumption patterns stress limited natural resources and create wasteful and even toxic byproducts that affect the quality of life in communities around the world. This environmental alteration compromises the Earth's ability to support human life, while our continually increasing population threatens the health of ecosystems of which we depend. When people migrate they tend to consume the things around them. So a more populated area will have a lot more waste and people are going to waste more if they have more to waste.

NO I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS MORALLY COORECT FOR RELIGOUS EXTREMIST TO IMPOSE THEIR BELIEFS ON ANYBODY. NO MATTER WHAT THESE BELIEFS ARE. PEOPLE ARE FREE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS ( OR SO THEY SHOULD BE) WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO MAKE OUR DECISIONS FOR US. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION RATHER THAN ANTI-ABORTIONISM BECAUSE IF WE DO NOT HAVE A GOOD AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE SO IT IS LIKE WE ARE ALL KILLING OURSELVES. I AM NOT SAYING THAT ABORTION ISSUES SHOULD BE DISMISSED I AM JUST SAYING THAT OUR ENVIRONMENT IS A LITTLE BIGGER OF AN ISSUE.
