    Almost one in five isn’t bad. Wouldn’t change population metrics, especially considering its effect on compounding (exponential growth). /S

    Humans.

    Externalities increase proportional to population density, requiring more repression of freedom and resulting in unsustainable growth.

    NO, the left does NOT endorse or encourage or support abortion.

    The left endorses, encourages, and supports RIGHTS for everyone including women..

    Why are you bringing up abortion in a thread on population?


    Are you proposing that women be forced to give birth in the name of keeping up the population ?

    Pro-choice = abortion = the killing of the unborn

    Try to keep up.

    When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought to myself, 'that may or may not be true.'

    With the devaluing of academic credentials and the prevalence of the misuse of authority, I have become much less trusting of what is marketed as "news" by the acaDemedia complex. In fact, my first reaction to such headlines are: 'Why does someone want me to believe that?' and, if it is accurate, 'Why does someone want me to know that?'.

    I don't think the divorce rate has much to do with it. The economy would have an effect, considering it's not the easiest thing to manage now, raising children. Got to have a good income established and a good home to bring them up in. Then there's the sheer in convenience of it all relative to having fun with all of those new technologies you've mentioned. Certainly we're busier and more distracted than ever. We aren't forced to mature and endure hardship the way our ancestors did or the way modern people in the developing world often are. I don't know about the population density making a difference; it doesn't seem to slow the third world down at all.

    Birth control also "kills the unborn." Take it easy.

    What "crickets" ? I have always addressed your posts ….

    Why do you expect me to answer YOUR questions when you don't answer mine? Can't you?

    See, here I will and CAN answer your question while you don't seem to be able to answer mine.

    The answer to what's wrong with your statement ""Pro-choice = abortion = the killing of the unborn"

    is that


    A. no one is "pro-abortion". There ARE, though, decent people who believe women have a right to choose what to do with their bodies.

    B. "Choice" means exactly that, it does not mean having only one choice (since that's an oxymoron)

    C. The only thing you got correct is the ridiculously obvious, abortion kills the unborn....that's the purpose.


    Again, can you provide a connection between population and abortion so you could be at least close to the topic?

    Creates a huge problem for "consumer capitalism," which has been based on mass consumption by growing populations with savings. In the U.S., if wages fail to rise at a significant rate above inflation, the losses in middle class income over the past few decades will continue and we'll evolve into a nation of a few rich and many poor. The turn toward capitalism in China from communism and from socialism in India, plus the advance of technology, has created enormous pressures for the reevaluation of labor in the advanced economies.

    Of course condoms prevent pregnancy so both they and the pill are also contributing to declining birth rates.

    Abortion rates in the USA are currently at lower rates than existed prior to legalization.

    job security is down under Trump, doesn't surprise me

    people need to know they have long term job security in order to want to have children, seems that is a thing of the past for many
