Planned Parenthood

May 07, 2012 20:48


Article in the newspaper announced someone speaking about the introduction of THE PILL 50 years ago. LJ speaks of supporting Planned Parenthood.

Can I give moral support? Paraphrase some thoughts from the article: "Better hygiene, food and health care meant that more children survived into adulthood. So less children were needed [to have some to take care of their parents in old age]. And you see that parents want to invest in children that live longer. Give them an education. That's easier to afford with fewer children." (Birthrate dip started about 70 years before introduction of the Pill.) And "We are happy with our smaller families and longer lives."

Smaller families, better education, better jobs, better incomes, happier people.

Not really that hard to understand.
