Just the economic hardship (relative) the past few years raise the concern of unfettered reproduction. Women have the right to control their fertility, if for no other reason than it's their bodies and lives on the line with every pregnancy. Existing children need to be cared for first. Family size must be kept to a maintainable level.In Third World countries, contraceptives are incredibly popular when available, as it enables families to focus even the most meager available resources on already existing children. Many medical advances are available even there....especially those which fight childhood disease, immunization, so your point about replacement value is well outdated. As malaria and dysentery deaths are now being minimized through well funded focus on these plagues, the need for contraceptives will be universal. Overpopulation is not imagined,when there is a drought, war or crop failure the starvation is very very real. And avoidable. |
