Once it became law, no one would be allowed to have a child for 25 years, any woman under 24 weeks pregnant was required to have an immediate abortion, and all men were called up to report for a vasectomy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Conscious regulation of human numbers must be achieved.\" Dr. Paul R. Ehrlich wrote in his 1968 bestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Population Bomb. \u003c\/i\u003eBy the early 80s, the government had statistical projections that population growth was outpacing the available resources needed for all in America to live a comfortable and secure life.

Most, but not all. And those who didn't-including a world-famous female billionaire entrepreneur\/inventor\/film producer; a TV salesman from Queens; a well-to-do Manhattan college radical; an unwed mother in Los Angeles who protests most horribly; America's premier pundit-columnist; and a young man who talks to his dead brother-became loud enough to start a fresh new controversy in America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a portrait of that controversy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Paul Leiva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 173529859X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735298597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Magpie Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Steven Paul Leiva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800534593791,"sku":"9781735298597","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/right-steven-paul-leiva-9781735298597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
