Abortion and Population

[SimpleCaveman]

Globally, there are about 56 million abortions vs 135 million live births per year. Abortion is unlikely to lead to human extinction.

Nothing is going to lead to extinction except for global catastrophes: Nuclear war, meteors, world war z, sun exploding, Vogon hyperspace bypass, Majin Buu’s Human Extinction Attack, and the like.

But even so, population decline could suck, too. Don’t take my word for it. Read about what’s going on in the countries where it’s happening.

(By the way, I’m still not arguing that abortion is causing human extinction. Others may be arguing that outcome, but I am not. Only that rapid population growth is not happening, and in some places it’s in decline.)
