Abortion and Population

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

People are living longer and babies aren't as apt to die as they were many years ago.

We don't need to crank out babies at the rate we used to in order to make up for those who died young.

Not to mention the fact that families simply can't afford 14 kids now and even farm families aren't in need of birthing potential farmhands.

Cripes, this is all about the Catholic church's freakout about birth control that actually works.

So we don't need to crank out babies, okay, that's fine. But why should anyone be using birth control? Going from "14 kids" to "no kids" is not exactly an improvement.

People should be using birth control because:

-There are large swaths of the world that already have too many people for the resources available.

-Infrastructure tends to not keep pace with population.

-To clarify the above, increasing population tends to strain food/water supplies, medical services, and personal economy.

-Not everyone is fit to be a parent.

Non-stupid people know these things.
