Thesis Statement

Overpopulation is the greatest threat to our planet to date, and the best way to control this issue is to terminate unwanted pregnancies, and a safe way to accomplish this is through regulated abortion.

Introduction

Historically, in the beginning of the urbanization there was a slow growth in the world population, from nearly 2 million to approximately 50 million in the Middle Ages duration. The only reason of the population climbing to such dizzy heights is the advancement and revolution in the technology in the world. In the twentieth century, the population on this planet increased almost fourfold, from about 1.5 billion to 7 billion. (Brown, 1995)

A baby born on October 31st, 2011, was marked as seven billionth baby of the world. The world's population has reached 7 billion, now the questions arise, that a milestone of 7 billion must concern us or make us celebrate?

This issue is raising concerns about the sustainable economic growth in the developed countries.

In the current year 2011, the death rate in the world has been significantly going down, which means people are living longer than before but on the other hand birth rate have been increasing at a high rate. The birth rate is double the death rate, which is leading to overpopulation of the world. (Boonin, 2002)

From 1950-2050, the figure has already touched 7 billion and in less than 40 years the population will climb up to more than 9 billion. As the U.S Census Bureau, International Data Base reported, the rapid growth of population will continue to grow at this pace for at least another 40 years. By the end of year 2050, the population is expected to reach a total of 9 ...
