Interesting question and interesting debate. This one's sure to throw up some heat somewhere.
I'm in two minds on this one.
One answer would be that the western world would be greatly more overpopulated. This would mean that more resources would be required to sustain the population, and that this would put more strain on other countries and resources across the globe as a whole. More pollution may also be a factor.
The scientific approach would say that nature always attempts to control population size as much as possibly. Lack of available resources and an increase in disease therefore may drive the population down or keep it stable. Although human population dynamics do tend to be the exception in most cases, but nature always finds a way in the end

Here's a thread that we can all fight over.
I will present it as a question without taking a right or wrong stance. To some the question may imply that I am pro-abortion, but that is not the case, just an inference from the phrasing.
How exorbiantly would the problems of overpopulation be exacerbated if Abortion had never been legalized, anywhere in the world?
(Remember that we wouldn't just be adding on the number of aborted fetuses. Hypothetically the ones aborted before, say, 1990 could be procresting themselves by now.)

I will answer your question, when you answer this question: How much more sexually responsible would women be, if they couldn't go have their child killed?
