原文:
No. Low birthrates are no reason to reverse progress toward a more free, diverse and equal world. Restricting reproductive rights — by denying access to critical health care and by denying the basic freedom to choose to parent or not to parent — would harm many people and for that reason would be wrong whether or not depopulation is coming. And it would not prevent the population from shrinking. We know that because fertility rates are below two both where abortion is freely available and where abortion is restricted. Any policymaker asking how to respond to global depopulation should start by asking what people want and how to help them achieve it rather than by asking what they might take away.
译文:
不。低出生率并不是阻碍世界走向更自由、多样和平等的理由。限制生殖权利——剥夺获得关键医疗保健的机会,以及剥夺选择生育或不生育的基本自由——将伤害许多人,因此,无论人口减少是否到来,这都是错误的。而且这也不能阻止人口的减少。我们知道这一点,因为无论是在堕胎可以自由获得的地方,还是在堕胎受到限制的地方,生育率都低于2。任何政策制定者在询问如何应对全球人口减少问题时,都应该首先询问人们想要什么,以及如何帮助他们实现这一目标,而不是询问他们可以被剥夺什么。
