[Peace-discuss] a friend: Haiti's problem is overpopulation

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Baaaad choice of words, and maybe a sucky attitude as well... 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). --Jenifer

Hey yeah, whatever happened to programs promoting birth control in third world countries 
 No, at AWARE, at least two of these people have attended AWARE meetings in the last 3 years. 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". I think she said she used to work with the doctor who made this his major goal in life. I forget his name now. 

The other person stayed for quite some time and then left over other issues.. Birth control for others was not his main cause. I truly believe peace was.
