There's a HUGE difference between providing women w/ options for preventing pregnancy via accessibility/affordability of e g pill or IUDs (and making it worthwhile to follow thru, or not) and forcing anyone do anything. Given the choice -- this is me stating the obvious -- most women would happily and gratefully avoid unwanted pregnancy (something most of us on this list have pretty much always taken for granted).<div> --Jenifer<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 2/8/10, Karen Medina <i><kmedina67@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Karen Medina <kmedina67@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [Peace-discuss] a friend: Haiti's problem is overpopulation<br>To: "Jenifer Cartwright"

One came for a few weeks and then decided we were not interested in joining her single-minded cause of "make those savages stop reproducing".
