Abortion and Population

[SimpleCaveman]

Hi Thumpalumpacus,

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.

I was going to try and explain it again, but the original post was very clear. For example,

There are countries like China, Italy, Spain and India whose population is or soon will be declining. … In India, the number of children peaked more than a decade ago and is now falling.

Population decline is happening in many countries. The bolded part of the quote I gave from the UN also makes this clear.

As scenarios go, aborting humanity into extinction is laughably unlikely.

I am not going to disagree here. I didn’t make that point. You are arguing against someone else.

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.

Again, we agree.
