I don't think I ever took that. Not that it's relevant. I'm not saying you don't comprehend what the word actually means, I'm saying you're intentionally obfuscating.

7.8 billion people is unsustainable anyway. We’re depleting resources faster than they renew. Agriculture systemically destroys everything that is not being farmed.

I'm not a fan of governments dictating morality. Government shouldn't tell you who you can marry nor should they be able to tell you how many children you can have.
