And how do you propose governments enforce this? Punch pregnant women on the street? Kill all illegal children found? Could also put up a clause where only the firstborn gets to live in a family with illegal children. Maybe a parent could let a kid take it's place if they really love it.
Could be cool. Also, the earth CAN sustain everyone if wealth and abundance wasn't immediately stolen.

I think that if the situation does get to worst case scenario then most basic rights would be nullified, there could possibly even be a nut job who will come around and attempt to 'bring down the population'. Anyways, there will probably be wars over basic resources and over space, so I honestly hope I am not around when this happens, if it happens
Probably looking through history and the current events that are happening these days,I understand your pessimistic view for our future.Politics has really fucked us,specially the ego of these so called leaders that have led us to kill each other.
As for limiting the amount of babies each family has,I'm all for it.But,their must be practical way to implement it.You're right,their would be an increase in abortions.Furthermore,if we plan on increasing taxes for people who plan on having more babies then that would be unfair too.I don't know a viable way of implementing this idea,but by using something in medicine/biology,cutting the I don't know what...But then,that would be considered immoral,invading of a woman's body,nobody would agree on it.
What could the government do to stop a family from having more babies without enforcing unfair punishment to the family?
I only see two solutions for now,either raising awareness(what a cliche) of this issue so It would be taken seriously.
Or we should really evolve immensely in terms of technology,and try to make earth as efficient as we can without ruining it's environment.In addition,we should try and find another planet to inhibit,if the increase in population continues as such.Also,technologies as Genetic
Engineering,Trans humanism,Cloning...Well,our society will have to accept them fast or we'll be in a big problem.If our state eventually turns into the worst,I can see religion supporting these technology for the best of humanity.
On the other hand,we're living in a modern society which is scientific,and these kind of technologies might get accepted readily,so yeah you never know.

Exactly my point,you beat me to it ;p.

but the question is could it survive some of the other planets that are near the livable ones? the gravity might be very very high and the planets could shift
There's one problem in order to collonise another planet we need to terraform it somehow,and terraforming isn't a simple process.Imagine you have to dramaticly change Earth's climate,it would take decades and thousands of tons of resources,and this is when everything works together.In space you have a shuttle a few people inside it and some instruments not to talk about plantations,wildlife,landscape material I doubt even a milenia is gonna be enough to do all that stuff.
The space shuttles barrely support they'r own weight,when we make some scientifical breaktroughs,increase the maximum capacity,reduce flight time and resource cost then we might atempt doing that until then,lowering the population would be the most racional precausion.
Gingers have no souls!!!
Earth will never be Overpopulated ...
look (Wars, starvation, Nuke bombs, high shop prices, murderers, car accidents, airplane accidents, terrorism) xD

Barring the global loss of trades with the overpopulated countries (China/India), it would make sense to place a limit of 1 child. To show it can be done; China. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they already have it. Now I don't know exactly how they're controlling it, but I'm fairly certain that it is in place. No need to tax, it would just tell people that having more than 1 is ok, thus letting them spawn more resource sucking infants.

Yes it will.
If what you were saying was true, how would our population have grown over the years? Wars do cut some of the population down, but it isn't long enough to have a lasting effect. Starvation is already here, and our population is still growing.
Nukes would kill everyone.
The rest: already here, population is still on the rise.

I mentioned something about the technology boom coming up, especially with the new wave of labor workers (who are still growing up now), they'll be able to take over the production costs by implementing more efficient tools for work as well as discovering more about genetic engineering. Human, animal, and plant life will have to "evolve" in a specific way now, essentially, it's time we take control of our own evolutionary path. We have the ability, so why not use it?
