Hmmmm...

I really do agree with the guy’s message, but I don’t think we should hold this up as a good reason to teach abstinence only, considering India is the second most populous nation in the world, and has a birthrate 50% higher than the US!

Yes, but married women are the vast majority of those giving birth.

Yea, but out-of-wedlock births and divorce rates are pretty low in India. In fact, substantially lower than most other places.

Abstinence before marriage - how many pre-marital births in India v/s those in the US ? Also, the birthrate in India is significantly higher partly because of the Muslim population growing by leaps and bounds.
