This is what I tell people when they say "There are too many people already, so we should just abort them before they're born."
Well, A. They just admitted that they abort people/humans, so that's another win for the pro-life argument.
B. Considering there have been over 107 billion people to have ever lived on Earth (the true number is closer to 110 billion if we're counting all the babies killed through abortion throughout the ages, yes it's that many), 7.8 billion is not that much in comparison. Sure it's all at one time but still, this is not a big number.
C. It's cities that are overpopulated, not the whole Earth. According to current models, the Earth can sustain over 15 billion people at one time. If we get closer to 15 billion, then sure, maybe there's too many mouths to feed with the current way of producing food, but new and more productive ways of growing food are always popping up. We'd find a way.
D. If everybody started living more rural, the Earth would not look or feel "overpopulated" since we'd be more spread out with more miles in between each settlement. Which is what the US used to be like. Before 1900 around 2/3 of the population lived rural. Then after 1900 the city boom really took off and now more than 3/4 of people in the US live in urban areas.
Lesson: overpopulation only exists in crammed mega cities. Start spreading out and you'll find there's room for about 7 billion more.
Thank you...I appreciate you laying it out like that because that's my point and I could not have said it any better...spot on...
