When did we…?
Um, there are over 7 BILLION people on this planet. Earth itself is struggling for its own survival from the sheer amount of overpopulation. Yet here you are debating as if every life was necessary for humanity to continue.
If you know even the slightest amount about supply and demand, we have far too much supply of humanity (and our drain on the world around us), and far too little demand for most types of labor output.
Just based on the labor markets around the world, there are far too many people. If that wasn’t so, the price for labor would be far higher. But it’s not because we have a huge surplus of people which is why most of them get paid so poorly.
We don’t lack for babies, but we do lack for readily affordable housing, low cost medical care, etc.

I’ll stick with census data and other reputable metrics that even so couldn’t have factored todays SCOTUS decision and somehow have foreseen a huge spike in the Caucasian birth rate.
Is this supposed to be cogent and in English? If so, now I have even more concern for you than your logic and data-deciphering skills.
Maybe Google (nee Duck Duck Go) "English writing classes."
Happy trails!

Oh good, you’ve caught the mention of the book containing the original data that’s been updated plenty since then.
If you’re familiar with Google, I’m sure you can figure out how to find the author’s name, the original print date, the data source, updated date, etc. (Hint: The book is old and out of print. If I was the author, I’d have had to write it when I was a child. Thanks for having so much confidence in me.)

So many people base their decisions on their finances and what’s best for them.
However, some may move just because there are too many people in a particular state (I’m looking at you California).
But unless enough people wake up and smell the coffee, however much money you have will be irrelevant if/when the entire country wipes itself out and hits reset.
The way things are now is simply not sustainable. There’s too much greed, too much selfishness, too little care for the greater good.

My opinion about this is irrelevant. What is relevant is the data that clearly lays out the foundation for the phenomena that we are now living through. As I said before, that data is in the book named Birth Dearth.
I wonder how many people have thought through why seemingly suddenly white legislators from nearly every corner of our country have focused on removing the ability to have an abortion in our country. Anyone?
Is it an economic issue? Nope. Is it because of a groundswell of support for people finding God? Nope. Is it because Trump was such a good Christian that he led us to virtue? Nope. Is it because we suddenly had a huge number of Christian voters press the issue with legislators? Nope.
It’s because since the most recent census, our white legislators have realized that if we stay on our current path (with abortion allowed) the white citizenry will soon be a minority. It’s the only salient explanation that answers for all of the weird changes recently taking place nationwide.

However, there will undoubtably be white women who will be forced to give birth, but I suspect not at the level of non-whites.
Your suspicion is inaccurate and lacks foundation. But if you’d like to provide your data source, I’d like to see it.
For mine, read the Birth Dearth. It has data, not mere opinions.

Believe it or not, elderly, infirmed, those in hospice, people on life support, etc. all of them include people that want their own voice to choose whether they live or die.
Ever heard of a DNR? That’s right, it’s a Do Not Resuscitate order and that’s a person’s way of saying "I don’t want to continue living if my ticker stops. Leave me alone."
But they don’t deserve their say? Why is that? Because someone else knows what’s better for them than they do? Please. Mind your business and leave other people’s business and their life choices to them.
There are too many people in our country that say that they mean well, but they force others to take their help, even when it isn’t wanted. They should start by helping with things that people specifically say that they want help with, not jamming unwanted help down their throats.

Have you missed the state-by-state regulations that go from outright bans to 6 week maximum allowable abortions? Check the map on the timeframes or allow-ability to have the procedures all across the country. It’s scary.
Regardless of the number of states or their names, there are huge numbers of white women that will be caught up in "Sorry, you’re either in the wrong state to abort your rapist’s baby, or you’re beyond 6 weeks, you have no say in this. Too bad." Most of those women formerly had a choice, now they don’t.

Wealthy people of any color have fewer children than poor people
Correct. And what color skin do those people have that also have the greatest amount of wealth in the USA?
You’re correct if you said white. Which goes back to my original and non nebulous statement.
the percentage of abortions is far larger by white women than by minorities. So, to ban abortion is to increase the percentage (not just overall population) of white citizens in this country.

So it’s the ability for something to grow into an adult human being that is the decider? Gotcha.
How about a fetus that has been medically proven to have a genetic abnormality that has zero possibility to reach adulthood?
Per your contention, that should be able to be terminated. But yet, none of the laws from the brilliant Republicans makes any provision for this, and it would be a felony to terminate that fetus.

It’s actually not. It’s called experience / remembering the past.
And since your memory might be on the fritz, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

They sure do have a pulse though, and some would argue a mind of their own. And cancer shows a very real desire to live and thrive.
At 6 weeks, many have claimed that a fetus has a heartbeat, not 15-20. That’s why the abortion red line for many states has now been set at 6 weeks.

Ensuring everyone has bodily autonomy is never wrong.
If your assertion is that what grows inside someone deserves a chance to live and grow without being removed by the adult host, then I’d like to introduce you to tumors, cancer, parasites, etc.

You’re right that it will increase the population of non-whites. But as the data shows, the percentage of abortions is far larger by white women then by minorities. So, to ban abortion is to increase the percentage (not just overall population) of white citizens in this country.
For reference, there’s a book called the Birth Dearth that explains this.

You’re right, and those are also the people that will be more likely to have offspring that enlist in the military and possibly make the ultimate sacrifice for the good ol’ US of A. This is yet one more way that the us govt will feed itself.
