Your colleagues are working on articles about the state of the Colorado River. 6 of the 7 states affected by the crisis want CA to take substantially less water from the river. In the event those states prevail, both SoCal agriculture AND SoCal municipalities will end up with water losses.

Are those potential water reductions enough to trim population density and thus power needs for those areas? If yes, how does that shape future plans for generation and distribution for those areas?

Abortion is also about fetal tissue that doesn't develop correctly. Desperately wanted children who are missing vital organs, whose body parts don't grow right must be aborted. Fetuses die in utero, they must also be aborted.

There's no way to fix this, there will always be a need for these kind of abortions.
