Overpopulation = Disaster

¤ Species Extinction:

Human overpopulation is causing the death and extinction of uncounted thousands of unique, irreplaceable life forms on Earth? Present estimates are that life forms on Earth are becoming extinct at the rate of one per hour - - that is 24 extinctions each and every day, 168 extinctions per week, 720 extinctions pre month, and 8,760 extinctions per year. That’s an extinction rate equaled only by the demise of the dinosaurs. And, as you well know, EXTINCTION IS FOREVER!

¤ Aggravating other Problems:

Human overpopulation is aggravating and amplifying every major problem facing humanity today - - problems such as Global Climate Change, poverty, starvation, overcrowding, wars, Global Terrorism, crime, gang violence, child abuse, environmental destruction, rainforest destruction, ozone depletion, air pollution, water pollution, and species extinction.

¤ Environmental Disaster

u Human overpopulation is causing a global environmental disaster of proportions not seen since the demise of the dinosaurs. In the face of this already-in-process disaster, the anti-abortion promoters are denying its existence and proposing the birth of still more people.

u We have cut a huge contiguous ecosystem into little blocks with roads cities, farms, ranches and the like and think that we do no harm.

u We have destroyed over ninety-seven percent of our virgin forests and think there in no price for that destruction.

u We have destroyed vital top soil that is literally irreplaceable, and think food will still be available for our children.

u We have polluted every waterway on the entire planet and ignore the massive deaths from the resultant diseases.

u Acid rain is killing our forests, but quarterly corporate profits take precedent of stopping the dumping of poisonous mercury into our environment.

u We have wantonly murdered entire species of large predatory animals and think such destruction does not alter the environment.

u We have over fished the oceans to the point that ninety percent of all large fish are simply gone.

u Human overpopulation has already caused the extinction of more species than at any single time period other that the demise of the dinosaurs and few give this carnage any thought. The rate of extinction is still growing and there is no end in site to this trend.

u We have set into motion environmental changes the consequences of which we are completely ignorant. We have interfered with every environmental system on the entire planet and think such actions are without cost or that someone else will pay the price.

u Our great grand children, if there are any, are going to think of us with anger and disbelief and ask, were they really that stupid?

¤ The Anti-abortion War

By their support of anti-choice laws, such as restrictions on foreign aid, (http://www.pro-truth.net/30-references.html#gag). and by their opposition to certain practices, the anti-abortion promoters deny sex education, birth control, and abortion to millions in third-world countries while the impoverished overpopulation in these countries is busy cutting down what’s left of the rain forests to feed still more unwanted children. The rain forests are not only the homes for most life forms on this planet, these forests are also an essential requirement for a stable global environment.

In the developed countries, to accommodate the increasing population, people are busy building still more factories and cars which produce even more pollution. Pollution is destroying the ozone layer at a phenomenal rate and has already begun to produce an irreversible, environmental disaster of as-yet unimaginable proportions.

Outlawing abortion is like playing a variation of Russian roulette where it's your turn until the gun goes off.
