The way to fix overpopulation is prosperity.

Reality check. Prosperity ain't raising all boats. Record numbers of people -actual numbers, not percentages- are impoverished and homeless.

Not dumping on religion or promoting abortion.

Opinion of a cultist includes a strawman. No surprise there.

The fact is that as China and India - the world's two most populous countries - gain prosperity their birth rates are declining.

So what. They're still foundering under the weight of their populations.
Prosperity benefits a minority in India. It does not result in broad access to income.
India has "18 million street children, with 11 million being urban. More than three million men and women are homeless in India's capital city of New Delhi alone."

Tip of the damned iceberg.

Prosperity that, cultist.
