Front Royal, VA, 05/18/08 – Steven Mosher, the president of the Population Research Institute and recognized demographic expert, has written a devastating indictment of those who would reduce the number of human beings in the world. In Population Control – Real Costs, Illusory Benefits, Mosher details how the population control movement has carried out a virtual war on people, harming hundreds of millions of women, children and families in the process.
Mosher, an eyewitness to the brutality of China’s one-child policy, draws from personal experience and a lifelong passion for demographics to craft a compelling argument against population control. From its origins in racial hysteria to its state-sanctioned rise to the international stage, Mosher describes the population control movement as a movement based on false premises. As a result, over the years it has become the world’s Number One violator of human rights.
"Human rights are nonnegotiable, or they are not rights at all," Mosher says. "Abuses of basic rights, such as the right to bear children, cannot be expunged by reference to any calculus of costs versus benefits." Mosher’s book explains exactly how the population control movement continues to violate these basic rights, in its pursuit of a highly questionable "good" – fewer people.
According to Mosher, statistics show that the world has never been overpopulated at all. Based on numbers from the United Nations and other sources, Mosher’s book scientifically demonstrates how the trend toward population control has never been rooted in sound math or good science.
