You don't think Haitian women should be allowed birth control?

Birth control is an inalienable right for Haitian women. In fact, they can't be denied birth control because birth control is an inherent aspect of humanity. It's really so easy and cheap: don't open up your legs...BANG! Birth control!.
The problem is not access to birth control but rather the unwillingness to avail yourself of it.

If Dominican women lack the healthcare card or copay, a hospital will let them go home to die and NOBODY cares; certainly not you. But if a Haitian shows up at a Dominican hospital ready to pop without so much as identity papers or money, she's given immediate care or you'll have France, Germany and (until recently) Obama to answer to.

I say, give them the incentive to make wise choices by making her take responsibility for her actions. For every 10 women giving birth in Dominican hospitals, nine are Haitians. At the current rate, Haitians replace the native population in Santo Domingo in a decade.

"Birth control is an inalienable right for Haitian women. "

What's the source of this inalienable right? The Haitian Constitution? The United Nations? God?

Haitian women, like everybody else, male and female, poor and rich, white and black, and no matter their nsationality or creed, have a right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness -- rights endowed by our Creator. All this stems from the fact that we are, or ought to be, self-governing. That's not just Birth Control. That's Self-Control.

Human cultures vary, but human nature does not vary in its essentials. All people who have adequate cognitive function and no gun to their heads, can control fertility by controlling fertile behavior.

NFP empowers couples to prevent, time, or achieve pregnancy via their own choice and their own behavior, by having sufficient information which cannot be taken away from them, and without the aid or the interference of anybody else on earth.

That's why it ought to be the normative method of family planning.
