Population and Family Planning
This seems to be an unpopular subject for most politicians. Perhaps this is due to fears of a loss of votes if people's reproductive choices are in any way regulated, but an equitable and effective policy in this area is probably the single most important factor that will contribute to the solving of most of SA's major socio-economic problems, such as those related to jobs, housing, education, health, sanitation, etc.
   SA has clearly more people than it can support. This is evidenced by the large numbers of poor who have inadequate housing, education, medical attention, water, electricity, sanitation, jobs, etc.
   Culturally many families in SA like to have many children, but things have changed, and making children at the expense of those very children and the others around one has now become irresponsible and should not be allowed.
   Left to themselves, people do not properly control their own birth rate, and in view of this, the birth rate in SA needs to be regulated.
   Any approach softer than this will result in a further explosion of population in SA, simply exacerbating matters and crippling society and the economy further.
   It is the responsibility of all citizens to practice strict birth control. In addition, to comply with the intentions of a raised age of consent, all pregnancies in women under 18 years of age must be legally terminated.
   Further principles may be promulgated in order to properly control overpopulation and its concomitant problems of poverty and overcrowding.
