> Isn’t it dangerous to have large numbers of people we’re going to just let die when resources are further constrained?
You haven’t shown anything like this — merely asserted it based on unrelated facts.
You cited raw numbers, but eg, portion of humanity in starvation conditions has gone down as population went up, because the increased wealth of nations allowed for feeding more people.
Neither unintended pregnancies nor a fraction of children in foster care seems like something that is solved by having fewer people. In fact, that will get worse (like hunger) as society regresses and we are less wealthy as nations.
> No one is arguing for eugenics, family destruction, or similar distasteful policies.
You are: Planned Parenthood was founded by a noted eugenicist; the policies to support your vision require massive taxes that stress the young and prevent them from breeding even if they otherwise would want to; etc.
You’re just denying your role in that destruction through social policy based on some kind of religious apocalyptic fantasy.
