When couples in the developing world save more income by limiting births, these new members of the middleclass trade in their bicycles for autos.
China fucked up their birthrate by limiting reproduction and the richer countries are at the same rate without stupid fertility and reproductive measures. Limiting births has FAILED China, and not helped it.
Changing how people live, is not solved with abortions.
As I said, already. Richer and prosperous countries already have birthrates low enough. You have to figure out ways to make the countries with higher rates, lower them. Education and birth control measures.
eg. Thailand birthrate 1960 = 6.15 / 2019 = 1.48 It dropped by 4 from 1970 to 1990, due to education, birth control measures(countrywide) and improved economic situation.
Kapeesh?Abortions are not a fucking solution.
That's as dumb as saying we need more disease and war.

Developing countries are already having lower birthrates. The developed countries only maintain their populations thru immigration.
Brazil is now at a very reasonable 1.7, for example... down from 6 in 1960.
