I just happened to read this thread for the first time today. This is an urgent issue, and a tinderbox that sets off people's emotions.
China has had a program in place for years:

And I'm sure we've all heard the fearful rumors about what they do with their unwanted (girl) children. Most of the rumors (like babies being eaten) are simply foolish attempts to distract us from the importance of putting such a plan in place.
It is a fact that many little girls have been adopted abroad, and that is not the issue. All children should have loving homes.
I knew by the time I was 17-- back in the '70s-- that I would never be a mother, because even then I felt there were too many of us. I came to that decision, however, not because I was educated about overpopulation, but because it was the right choice for me.
Education about this issue is of paramount importance. If controls such as China's are enacted without education, then they will be seen as a NWO tactic, a curtailing of personal freedoms and rights, and people will rebel against it, due to their personal, cultural, and religious beliefs. If you educate people about what is at stake, they are more likely to make the right decision for the greater good.
I was just looking at the Pathfinder site linked above, and they seem to be involved in at least a minimum of educational practice, while giving the women prenatal care. I have a question because I truly don't know the answer, not because I'm trying to bait anyone: Do you think organizations such as this are actually supporting the the problem, rather than contributing to the solution (a natural decrease in population)? It seems to me if these women don't know they have options to begin with, then they can't make a choice at all, and the babies keep coming. I don't know. That could be an ill-informed assumption on my part.
I do know it has to go further than that. Just telling folks they have a choice isn't always enough to get them to make one. The biological imperative is intense, and even I struggled with it in my 30s. So some sort of control is necessary, and China's, while not perfect, gives us perhaps an idea of how to start.
And I can't remember where I read it now, so I can't link to it, but some are saying that the density of population we have is necessary for and reaching a mass critical to the shift of the earth's (and our) consciousness upward to the fourth density. Implying that without these numbers, the shift could not happen. I'm not sure what I think about that.
Thanks for this thread. It's timely and important, and I've learned something. I will have to investigate Billy Meier more thoroughly.
