I'm reasonable (none / 0)

I don't want desperate people doing something irreversible for short term cash. But I'm fine with medium term birth control (Norplant, etc.) for drug addicted women or for those needing money.

Hopefully by the time the birth control ends their financial situation has improved (and or they're off drugs) to the point where they can adequately care for a child. That's the fairest option, much better than no option or sterilization.

Huh? (none / 0)

I'm all about birth control (short and medium term, i.e. norplant) secularism, free education (regular ed and sex ed) and challenging the notion that it's a good idea to pump out a bunch of kids. All of those things are proven to reduce population growth.

Complain to the other set of "you guys".

Education is the key (none / 0)
In Vietnam it has been readily demonstrated that the best birth control is to send girls to university.  Girls that attend university are far more likely to wait until they are 27+ to have their first child.  This generally results in a 2 child household.  Whereas girls on the farm are still having 3 or 4.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
