George W. Bush was not Catholic, but he made it so that the African
countries suffering from high HIV/AIDS could only get help from the US if
they did not give out condoms.

Abstinence is a great form of birth control. But most of us see the problem
with that.

So, I come back to Bob Illyes and say, we must educate men as well.
Overall, I say:
Educating women in a society where women are already a bit empowered is a
darn good thing.
Demanding that developing countries control their populations is ridiculous
when we cannot control our consumption of their natural resources and our
use of their land as our kitchen midden (garbage dump).
