And as for the whole "Reproduce" and "Natural order" bullshit, well, look at our population.  we could use fewer people breeding, and almost nothing we do is 'natural' anymore, almost by definition.  So yeah, by refusing to support love, you are an affront to progess, part of the problem, and exactly what most forward thinking, progressive, modern, freedom loving people have every reason to despise. 

 

Yeah I'm sorry but this is incorrect. 115 countries/224 countries fail to reach the quota of 2.1 children for every female and therefore the population size is not stable and will not be stable in these countries and therefore in years to come a lower labour force will be available and the average age will increase dramatically which I think that I don't need to explain how damaging that is to society as a whole. If anything we need to have way more people breeding nowadays expecially in first world countries . Of course sme-sex marriage will not change this ferility rate so this decision is definately the step forward but just wanted to debunk your statement that "we could use fewer people breeding."

Global population keeps growing, that's what Runa was talking about. If those countries you speak of truly need extra people all they have to do is to change their immigration policy and save some people from starvation and misery.

Don't worry about that, the world total population will soon start decreasing. With the fertility rate global average only being 2.5 children/woman which include countries such as Niger which have a fertility rate of 7 children/woman, the average is getting dangerously low. As birth control method increase in popularity in third world countries, the average fertility rate may soon drop below the 2.1 threshold.

 

The populatoon in countries such as Andorra may soon go extinct ( It will take a while Obviously ) due to a very low birth rate of ~1.3children/woman coupled with a low population of ~85,000 people.

 

Immigration may be the key, for a short period of time anyways. Unfortunately people soon take up the customs of their current country ( Heavy birth control use/ Not having children ) which would literally in the end change nothing in terms of fertility rate and sustaining a proper population.
