Is there such a thing as "accidental genocide"?
The pro-lifers want all pregnancies to be carried to term, and are actively working to achieve that goal. This will increase the birth rate among humans worldwide by about 50%. This will also lead to faster depletion-of-resources, and increase the probability of a Malthusian Castrophe happening.
Typically, a Malthusian Catastrophe means that about 99% of a population will die. If this happens to the human species, then it logically figures that 99% of every single ethnic group will die.
Should somebody "actively work" toward achieving the goal of killing 99% of just one ethnic group, that person is, according to the dictionary, working toward committing "genocide". What do you call it when that person is actively working toward genocide of all known ethnic groups?
The only problem here is that the pro-lifers don't seem to understand the Law of Cause and Effect, or even the Law of Unintended Consequences. Somehow they think that the Earth's measurably finite biosphere can endlessly accommodate an ever-increasing number of humans. Yet there are no facts to support such a conclusion. Will some pro-lifer here please explain?
Meanwhile, if any pro-lifers decide to "wise up", and recognize that the long-term consequences of their actions don't support their goal of keeping many humans alive, and perhaps they should stop trying to ban abortion, I'd like to hear about that, too.
Finally, if we know that pro-lifers are actively working to commit overpopulation, and if we know that overpopulation leads to a Malthusian Catastrophe, and if we know that a Malthusian Catastrophe is so deadly that the word "genocide" applies to those who caused it, then shouldn't we start rounding up pro-lifers, and charging them with attempted genocide??? And, since this is the normal punishment for attempted genocide, shouldn't they be executed if they are found guilty?
