if the US reproductive rates keep falling it will follow the path of
France and other European countries (ten years ago) when they were
importing a significant number of adoptive babies and young people from
third world countries to supply their needs. Today they bitch about too
many foreigners.
I'm not against self determination around your reproductive life.. but a
society that spends 10-40K dollars in a car every tree years, spends
thousands of dollars in dog food and cat toys and at the same time
considers or mentions abortion as one way to control population seems a
little sick to me.
with luck you car reduce population growth by what... a few percentage
points...
with little effort you can live reducing consuption (measured as dollar
income) by at least a couple orders of magnitude. (asuming you live in
the US and have what congress considers to be an average salary)
It's true the cat and the dog will have to eat food scraps and not what
migrant workers consider to be perfectly good, cheap tuna.
