Oh yes, i also needed to address the original posting. On a day like this one, I sympathize with the goal of drastically reducing the size of the human race. Since I had my vasectomy operation, I also have believed that sterilization (VOLUNTARY ONLY) can be a good thing, especially after having one or two kids (I have 2).
But really, most women in the third world would be thrilled to have fewer children. It's just that they have no access to free contraceptives and their husbands would rather lose them in childbirth than have smaller families. The only thing that needs to change is improved access despite the obstinate husbands.
I have despised George W. Bush for the past six years because his first act as president was to eliminate all funding for international family planning. Stupid. We expect ourselves in the United States of America to solve all the world's problems, then we immediately refuse to help address the most serious problem of all. Far cheaper to prevent the conception of a human being than to feed, clothe, educate, combat, imprison, etc. the resulting person.
