If you go to some concerts or shows, such as "The Buddy Holly Story", you'll be asked to show proof of vaccination or recent negative test for covid and your ID.

I'm sure believers in capitalism and more of it would sharply disagree. Republicans often try to promote it by trying to cut corporate and individual income taxes.

Yeah, but what Republican wants to ban fracking to protect the environment? It's not banned in Oklahoma, even though pumping waste water associated with it back into the ground is associated with earthquakes.

No worries. In the next few years the population will be cut by at least half.

We should talk about what "few years" might mean and which population, too.
The population of North America is not likely to decrease in the next 80 years - the year 2100. After that, it might, having been shored up by immigrants until the immigrant and new born populations are unable to keep pace with the dying population.

The population of the world, though, will certainly decrease by 2100, and in some places it will be extreme. Asia, Eastern Europe will lead the charge downward since most of those countries do not have much to offer immigrants and do not readily accept foreigners, anyway. South Korea is actually the leader downward at this point.

Without abortion there would be 100 million more people.

Most of them voting democrat. In that sense abortion isn't so bad

I have to laugh though. Those who are pro-abortion are usually pro increased population via "immigration" though.

Sounds true, but it's not. South Korea leads the charge toward population decline and abortion was prohibited there until last year.

Answer this for me. Why are the vast majority of people who actively campaign against abortion Republicans?

No, one could make an argument that some cities are overpopulated, but not the country as a whole
