Would the abortion debate be different?

If humans were to change from k-strategists to R-strategists?

As long as between two or four offspring reach adulthood for each breeding pair of R-strategists, no matter how many thousands of their offspring die, the species can continue to survive.

I don't think the question of abortion has anything to do with the survival of the species. The human race is not in danger of extinction, and if it is, having a whole lot more hungry mouths to feed won't prevent it.

In America, the abortion debate changes when we start to run low on WASP babies, like when the Catholics first came to the US and then started breeding like rabbits.

Since the thing that poses the greatest threat to humanity is humans themselves I fail to see how having large, fluctuating populations as opposed to stable population growth would be the better route to take but abortion is not a population control mechanism in the US at least in its intent.
