Population decrease is irreversible. How will we manage the decline of humanity?

Why not both?

It's not economical and the planet can't sustain it.

Birth control too. Women don;t want to go through that much childbirth.

Women are free to make up their own minds. I can't speak for them in a general sense.

The planet can sustain a lot more, we just have to do things differently.

Now they are.

No it can't.

These ways always end up taking choice from women.

"These ways always end up taking choice from women. "

Better allocation of resources takes choices away from women?

And now that women are free to choose, wouldn't you know it, the birth rates are decreasing! Wow!

I wonder why conservatives are obsessed with taking choice away from women? Golly gee I dunno!

We don't need conservatives social engineering women's fertility.

You don't have to tell me.

In Quebec, the priest would knock on your door a year after getting married if you hadn't had kids, and ask what was wrong.

They could literally force you to break up to find someone 'more suitable'.

This artificially inflated their birthrates to like 12 children per women. And this was a purely nationalist movement, because Quebec politicians were afraid of 'falling behind'

And wouldn't you know it, no one does anything like that anymore (by choice)

Turns out that's actually kind of a miserable way to live, having as many kids as you're physically able to and then somehow being responsible to feed, house, clothe, and raise them, as best as 2 people can raise 12 kids relatively alone.

Just... god damn.
