The most brilliant thing...

I just heard THE most brilliant anti-contraception argument whilst flipping around the TV and landing on EWTN. According to the women on whatever show it was, in third-world countries the infant mortality rate is higher, so if we gave them contraception, we'd be keeping them down and holding the people back!

I kid you not, they actually said it. I don't know what else they said, because I yelled out some curse words and changed the channel.

Why don't we spend some time asking ourselves why the fucking infant mortality rate is so high in those countries in the first place? Oooh, oooh, I know one reason! **waves hand enthusiastically in the air** It's because women are having TOO MANY BABIES. The health of the woman and her babies declines with each pregnancy, so the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and so forth pregnancy is gradually deteriorating. Yes, this is but one of MANY reasons for the high infant mortality rate, but it's one that contraception would help, and it would help women have options other than staying pregnant from literally the age of 14 to 45 with at least a dozen living or dead babies in between those years.

But what am I saying? Children are a blessing from God, and God will provide, right? Just like he's providing an overabundance of food for the millions of Africans who are starving to death today because of drought and warfare? We needn't worry our little heads about that stuff because God will provide, we just need to keep popping out as many babies as possible for God to provide for and make sure that we enforce our religious views on other countries so that they have as many babies as possible for God to provide for.

La la la la, **skipping through the fairy dust** Isn't life magical?
