I have been considering pressing my local authority to supply free
contraceptives to all who require them. But I thought it might be of 
interest to others and helpful all round to air this idea as wide as
possible. 

Seems to me to be common sense to supply free contraceptives to
those who want them regardless of age, gender or creed as and
when needed  and/or requested. We already have a world wide
problem of over population which we can do something about with
our present technology and understanding of procreation. From what
I can gather over-population is one of the major "push" factors influencing
an individuals decision to go for another country. The control of this
factor would reduce population movement. 

However the biggest beneficiary would be the planet. There
would be a decline the need for fossil fuels and other non-renewable
sources of energy. Less resources would be required and fewer
would need to be exploited. It is a great pity that this option, which has
so many advantages, has not really been explored in sufficient depth.

I know that this is a controversial subject and one which requires
careful and considerate handling. Your comments would be
appreciated.
