There is no point in arguing exceptions. You apparently think exceptions invalidate the rule. The rule is clear. Multiply and replenish or your civilization dies. 1.6 guarantees death, no civilization comes back from a 1.6. Oh, you may get the numbers (Islam will be happy to provide the numbers) but the society will be far different.

Then you were addressing an unasked and unrelated question. Orangedog was talking about a post-born human nearing the end of his/her life and doing what it takes to not be a burden on the following generation, and you were talking about abortion.
It puts your commentary into the non sequitor category.
I already posted that Orangedog could kill himself if he wanted to. But, as a Christian, I think you have to answer for it. I did not think that caring for one’s parents is some boat anchor around one’s neck as he implied. He accused me of having children so they could be saddled with my dying care, an absurd accusation. Then, he explained some exception to having kids (there are many). I did not wish to indulge the exception and tried to make the case that our way of life is endangered by a pitiful birthrate. Apparently, you do not agree. So be it.
