For decades many of the world’s super rich have channeled Chicken Little, saying the world as we know it will end if we don’t deal with overpopulation. This tiresome diatribe continues in the face of most countries desperately trying to increase their populations. The worst offenders include Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and George Soros, and they use abortion to advance their misguided agenda. Overpopulation’s a myth. It’s a problem of underpopulation, and finally someone in the multi-billionaire club gets it. Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, recently said at a Wall Street Journal event, “I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the…rapidly declining birthrate. If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble, mark my words.” One day I hope Musk says, let’s begin by ending abortion.
