Could you please point out what part of that supports the idea that a leveling off of the population would be possible without contraceptives?

Both of the replies I've received so far appear to completely misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying the population will grow without limit no matter what. I'm saying that contraceptives are vital to avoiding that. Which is not at all contradicted by the fact that our world appears to be headed for zero population growth, because our world contains readily available contraceptives.

Do people not read, or what?
