In the next 50 years, if nothing is done about it, there will be 3 - 6 billion more people on this earth, not in the USA, Europe or Russia, but in Asia & Oceania, South America and Africa (Africa has the highest rate of growth, 5 children per family) (Industrial countries' population is now decreasing)
Between 1995 and 2000, more than 300 million, one quarter of the world's pregnancies were unintended.
Contributing to this was a steep drop in worldwide funds from the United States (resulting in the deaths of nearly 700,000 women between 1995 and 2000).
While more than one-third died from problems associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery, the majority - over 400,000 - died as a result of complications resulting from abortions carried out in unsafe, unsanitary and often illegal conditions.
"Most of these unintended pregnancies and needless deaths could have been prevented had basic reproductive health services been made available to these women.
Providing women with the means to plan, prevent or space their next pregnancy can be done with modest resources.
Where women have little or no access to simple and reliable methods of contraception, an unintended pregnancy often leads to the decision to have an abortion.
Disease, Pollution, lack of essential resources and raw material will threaten our children, for sure, if nothing is done about it now. So what can we do about it? A Solution
This issue makes Global Warming and Nuclear/Chemical Attack pale into relative insignificance especially when measuring the direct saving (in lives, suffering and FUTURE THREATS - Family Planning can make per $ spent.
Dont think our children will not eventually be affected by a possible "LAST REVOLUTION" - A World Revolution of the 87% of the world's population who will be in poverty by 2050

There's definately no easy answers but I can tell you it doesn't help when we have people like Randall Tobias, the infamous "Abstinence Czar", pushing abstinence only programs in developing countries. Of course we all know that he never practiced what he preached when it came to D.C. prostitutes. Can you say Hypocrite?!!! :lol:
