“If abortion is banned, we’re going to pay more and more for these idiot’s kids until civilization collapses and they eat what’s left...”
Well, alright then, let the murdering continue, money being the most important thing.
Money represents effort and capital in a civilization. The “murdering” will happen with or without abortion if the material issues are not addressed soon enough.
Either in the womb as a preventative measure by choice or in far greater numbers/brutality/randomness in the streets when civilization collapses from too many takers.
Another option is mandatory implanted birth control for those not able to afford children but many people see that as even worse than abortion.
Human sacrifice in many civilizations was merely a way to keep population from exceeding available resources. They said it was to satisfy God for a good harvest but in reality they just kept the numbers down so everyone else had enough to eat. The leadership knew even greater violence was inevitable if everyone starved.
Civilizations against sacrifice addressed feeding of excess people through war and colonizing. Conquering more land and brutally murdering the previous inhabitants when they objected to starvation. They justified murder by saying their culture is superior and deserved to eat more than these “savages”.
Every known path to address this issue is horrific but it is the brutal hard reality of material existence versus human nature...
