Force, no, not unless the overpopulation problem becomes a clearer threat than at present. It is still possible that the world population will peak and then decline slightly before we reach the stage of an inevitable mass dieback of the human population, with war and famine to help along the way. Coercing other people seems to me wrong, but sometimes can still be the lesser evil - for example in having laws to protect people from one another's worse impulses.
However, neither do I accept that it is OK for people to decide to have many children, then oblige other people to pay for it their lifestyle choice.
No more am I a great supporter of people whose salaries are paid out of tax, for example people in councils, quangos, the BBC (I include the BBC though it is *technically* not tax) paying themselves many times more than the people who are being taxed to pay for their wealthy lifestyle. The amount the parasites in charge of the EU choose to pay themselves while their schemes have caused so much harm leaves me without temperate words to express my feelings.
