Natural selection has been defeated or at least put on the defense as “the excess population” no longer naturally dies off. Natural selection knows no social boundaries as it would take a rich child as quickly as a poor. Yet today children rich and poor who may have died of natural causes decades ago, are living to adulthood. And as emotionally charged as childhood death is, death by natural causes served a purpose. Yet because fewer children die of natural causes, it maybe that support for abortion is in part do to this.
Just a random thought. Now off to work.

It never did, that is uniformly across the species. Or at least not for a very long span of human history, back to the agricultural revolution at least. It is, however, true for nonhuman organisms, which gives evolution great credence.
By the way, no one much bothers with Human Starvation Darwinism anymore. That’s old hat. Ever since the mid twentieth century it’s been all about the genes, humankind being mere robots for the perpetuation of code. Well, not code, really, but you know what I mean.
