Abortion and Population

[Thumpalumpacus]

I started this thread (and I will try to keep up on it) because Ahriman is right in her post below. And it’s not a hypothetical scenario. It’s already happening.

[...]

Currently, the demographics research says that the population is expected to continue to grow for the next few decades, but one site (Our World In Data) says that it will peak by the end of this century. Where there is growth, it will be (according to the UN) “concentrated in eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and the United Republic of Tanzania.”

You are contradicting yourself here. Population shrinkage cannot be "already happening" if the population is still growing and expected to continue doing so for decades.

As scenarios go, aborting humanity into extinction is laughably unlikely. Not that a reduced population would be a bad thing, for the Earth and long-term survival of our species both. We are shitting up the only planet we know we an survive on, and that is largely because our population requires enormous food supplies, energy supplies, and so on. But abortion is no way to address that.

So, you can be for abortion if you want. But don’t argue based on population levels.

Of course not. Abortion should be legal, in my opinion, because the government has no business usurping the bodily autonomy of an adult human being so long as that human's behaviors are legal.
