Do not, please, add words to my already overfull mouth.
In delineating the population issue, I was simply requiring that the problem be given its whole context. I do not think any simple moralistic answer on either side is the whole answer, but more importantly, I do not think it is a legitimate problem to be raised before any legislature. Especially because there is none among most legislatures who can walk the walk and feel the situation.
I am not in favor of abortion, and I would always try to avoid it as a first approach; but I am even more not in favor of moralistic meddling in other people's lives and decisions. A mother, no matter how inexperienced, is extremely unlikely to get an abortion on moralistic grounds -- as I pointed out above, she usually has to overcome very strong instincts to make such a decision. But people who have never been women, cannot get pregnant, have perhaps never been seduced or raped, and who are almost certainly far from debilitating poverty, feel perfectly qualified to dictate such a decision on moral grounds. I think this is a bad idea, to put it mildly.
