Anti Abortion clinics file suit against abortion info law

The governor signed AB775 that goes into effect in California on January 1, 2016 which requires anti-abortion clinics to also provide patients information about abortions.  This article in the 15 October 2015 Union Tribune by Christopher Ingram says that the anti-abortion groups have filed a lawsuit complaining that it infringes on their religious freedom to have to tell pregnant women about abortion options.  Those same groups all over the US have worked hard to force pro-choice organizations to provide counseling to patients concerning carrying their baby to term.  Now that the law has tried to make it fair for both sides, they are claiming "religious freedom infringement" by being forced to explain the abortion option.
Maybe the pro-choice group needs to form a religion that advocates for abortion.  That way they also can claim 'religious freedom" when the anti-abortionists try to force them to provide counseling.

The right-wingers claim their anti-abortion and anti-birth control position is based upon teachings of Christ.  That connection is very weak.  Most of the "theology" was created by monks who were most interested in increasing the population of Catholics to help spread the religion.  At the time, people were an asset to the family, the community and the church.  Now the rapidly increasing population of the world is a threat and liability to everyone.  Of course, the "In God We Trust" group are probably trusting God to solve the problem with a dramatic "act of god" such as a worldwide cataclysm, a severe global plague, or maybe a nuclear holocaust?   If not, meanwhile we are on our own.  God has given us brains and ability to work together to solve problems.  We should do it!

Gallup Poll -- Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

It appears from the latest Gallup Poll that there are more people in the US who consider themselves "Pro-Choice" than "Pro-Life"   I was surprised to see that somehow in the mid-1990s the so-called "pro-life" group actually outnumbered the pro-choice.  I wonder how that happened?  I suspect it was the influence of the "moral majority" group who really did a lot of marketing for their cause.
It is clear to me that the "pro-life" group is simply trying to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of the US citizens --and the world, if they could do it.  They believe that a fetus somehow has been bestowed a "soul" and is as much a human as any other human.  There is no science behind that belief, so it is driven by religion.
It is hard for me to understand why the Republican Party could stand generally for "Pro-life" when they are also "Pro Death Penalty" and "Pro Guns."  They generally claim they believe in the US Constitution, freedom of religion, and free markets.  But they, for some reason want to restrict women from having abortions, restrict Gays from marriage,  and restrict states from putting limits on guns.
One of the overarching problems of mankind is the continued increase in population in the world.  The growth of population increases the pressure on the limited resources of the world.  Yes Malthus was proven somewhat wrong, and the world was able to find food to survive a huge increase in population.  But at what cost?  There have been huge costs to the environment which simply cannot go on forever.
The world needs to get human population under control.  I believe we can do it.  China has shown it is possible, but there are less harsh ways to achieve population control by using other incentives.  The US needs to take a leadership role and control our population and accept immigrants until we can get those other countries to get their population controlled.  To do so, we need to dis-incentivize having more babies by eliminating tax deductions for babies, gradually increase costs to raise children by reducing subsidies for child care, medical care, and school to bare minimum for national health.  We also need to provide free medical help for birth control (such as pills, devices or sterilization) and abortion when necessary.
