Mother Jones Asks "Who's to Blame for the Population Crisis?"

The cover story of the May-June issue of Mother Jones {"Who's to Blame for the Population Crisis?"] asks the provocative question, "What unites the Vatican, lefties, conservatives, environmentalists, and scientists in a conspiracy of silence?"  The answer, of course, is population. Written by Julia Whitty, the feature story ["The Last Taboo"], looks at India and the challenges posed by population density and growth, and concludes that it's time to lift the taboo against speaking about population.  She suggests that women's empowerment and education, in addition to family planning, are needed to deal with the crisis.
