To be very clear, being anti-abortion is not being "pro-life."  Quite the opposite it turns out.  Please consider that it took 200,000 years for our kind to reach a global population of 1 billion, only 170 years from there to reach 4 billion, and astonishingly, only 47 years to surpass 8 billion. We can accommodate 8 billion solely because of the vast number who live near, at, or below the poverty line of $1.90 (US) a day.  Unfortunately, 30% of us already suffer severe or extreme water shortage at least one-month a year.  In America, 46 states chronically experience this level of shortage.  Water wars are already festering  - Scottsdale, AZ recently shut off water to the Rio Verde Foothills suburb  - and the issue is speedily widening.  On top of this, Republicans have chosen this moment to push for every impregnated child or woman to birth more and more human beings, regardless of their economic, physical, or emotional ability to to mother a child.  THIS is child abuse and a cruel, unjust penalty against women for which  the rest of us are stuck footing the bill.In the bigger picture, the juxtaposition of a spreading, deepening water crisis against out-of-control overpopulation spells ugly times ahead.  VERY ugly times... unless we do an immediate about-face and reduce our population.  Sadly, this isn't likely while the whims of one religious sect have eroded the separation between church and state.
