This is an excellent speech. Liberals love to scream that we’re overpopulated, especially with the world population about to hit 7 billion. Even if you read the comments to the movie/documentary Demographic Winter, you still see liberals bleating on about overpopulation. However, I have tried to point out in debates with them that the population of westernized and some asian countries is below replacement level. The U.S. is barely meeting replacement level and that is due to immigration from Mexico. The social programs that liberals advocate are not going to be sustainable without a population that is at replacement level. There will be more elderly than young to take care of them. I saw a documentary on Japan where they are having this problem:

A point he didn’t get into was the increasing Muslim population with relation to our decreasing population:

Abortion has of course wiped millions off this planet and continues every day.
Phil Magnan, Director of Biblical Family Advocates had this to say, “It really makes one think that if the world is aborting 46 million children a year by surgical abortion, what are the real figures on the use of other forms of abortion? It is already bad enough that we are surgically aborting 1 Billion children every 22 years. Now we have to face a very grim fact, that the number of abortions world wide, are much higher than we thought, into the billions.” http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/AbortionStatistics.htm
I read that one poster commented that there is a “positive” to all these abortions - less liberals. I don’t think there can ever be a positive effect of abortion. Afterall, the children killed, while many would likely turn out liberal, were completely innocent. Even if they were born liberal, a person shouldn’t be sentenced to death based on political beliefs. Besides, the libs are still able to convert conservative kids through the media, culture, and public schools as another poster pointed out.
Regardless, libs will continue to have less children and have and support abortion. They’ll encourage people to have less children and mock families like the Duggars. In order to deal with the increasing elderly population, they’ll support assisted suicide/euthanasia.
I think it was actually easier parenting when families were larger. When I was a kid there was the “kid world” and the “adult world”. We never expected adults to play with us (although it was fun when they did) there were always other kids around, siblings or neighbors. The adults didn’t need to drag us around to soccer practice or ballet. We were too busy climbing trees and playing kick ball.
By the time we were 7 or 8 my sisters and I were out of the house from sun up to sunset, meeting up with our parents only at meal time. I don’t think it was all that difficult to raise us.
