The book continues: “It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people are having too few babies. Population growth has been slowing for two generations. The world’s population will peak, and then begin shrinking, within the next fifty years. In some countries, it’s already started. Japan, for instance, will be half its current size by the end of the century. In Italy, there are already more deaths than births every year. China’s One-Child Policy has left that country without enough women to marry its men, not enough young people to support the country’s elderly, and an impending population contraction that has the ruling class terrified.”

If you want more data, you can compare the abortion rate to the birth rate across states and what you find is about what you’d expect.

States with very high birth rates—Utah, Mississippi, South Dakota, Kentucky—have very low abortion rates. And vice versa.[v]

In 2000 the RAND corporation tried to estimate what the numerical effect of abortion was on the TFR.[vi] It concluded that for white America, abortion on demand lowered the fertility rate by about 0.08—or 4 percent.

Among black Americans the effect was much stronger: the Roe regime pushed fertility down by 0.34—or 13 percent.
