Let’s face it, the whole world would be better off if Myanmar had half its current population. Same with China, Pakistan, etc.
If that is the case, why not ban all aid from making it to Myanmar or China. That would certainly hasten the population decline. But no, the minute there is a disaster, we rush in and try to mitigate deaths.
Seems we want to prevent future population from existing, but save those living now. I just don't understand the liberal mind at all.
There is a moral difference between killing people and giving them birth control. The better argument against this policy, I think, involves whether they would use the condoms, or it’s just an empty gesture.
There is no question though that runaway population growth in the third world is causing problems here in the US. The world consumption of oil, for example, would be a lot less if there were fewer people consuming it. A lot of the illegal immigration problem in the US was brought on by Mexico’s population problems. I think the Muslim world in particular needs birth control. We can’t ignore this problem, unfortunately.
