Contraception first.
When that fails (for whatever reason), abortion should be a possibility.
Of course, only in the unwanted pregnancy case.
If you want to have a child, why would you abort it?

Well of course you wouldn't abort a child that you wanted lol.
I know it is too much to ask to just not have so much sex...
In any case, regardless of what I believe, it is legal...
I can of course see that there are certain reasonings that lead to the logical conclusion of abortion, I just wish it didn't have to happen.
I too wish that it didn't have to happen.
But it does.
And I don't think it should be a crime, just like it isn't in many places.

Hmmm... I had not thought of water. I still think 9 billion is under the limit. Perhaps it is an economic limit? At the very least, we can force water restrictions, desalinize the sea, and clean up water sources. It might not be the 72 billion I guessed (with absolutely no figures, too), but 9 billion just seems lower than a true max population limit.

9 billion is the figure quoted by David Attenborough. Check out this website of an organisation that he is patron of: http://www.populationmatters.org/

Desalination wouldn't provide much more, and would be prohibitively expensive. Melting the ice caps is another possibility.

Desalination would be better than melting ice caps...

How much energy can you get from a bunch of people turning wheels? lol
