Again, this is contrary to what de Tocqueville writes about.

America has been substantially better off than every other developed nation in this category - even now, and has been for a very long time. This is something de Tocqueville established as a reason why Americans were special - because they eschewed contraception.

Look at the growth of wealth in the United States from 1870 to say, 1910. Compare it with the growth of wealth from 1970 to now. You say that contraception brings about wealth to the united states - why then was America growing faster than any other developed nation was was the richest at tehe same year.

Look at Sandra Fluke. Tell me that contraception doesn’t contribute to the decline of children born in wedlock, and the subsequent increase in the use of social services. It’s all right there.

Contraception use = greater socialism. Now, you’re claim is simply that Mexico was socialist before contraception use, I’m not sure how that negates my argument that contraception has transformed America into a much more socialist nation.
