Today, July 11, is World Population Day. According to the United Nations' World Population Day website, "In 1968, world leaders proclaimed that individuals have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and timing of their children. Forty years later, modern contraception remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of women, men and young people. This year’s World Population Day reaffirms the right of people to plan their families."

The UN was wrong in 1968. In 2008 it is even wronger,if that’s possible.
How can anyone maintain that finding contraceptives too expensive is justification for unwanted babies? Is child starvation justified by maintaing food is just too expensive. Insane. What are we taking about here,homo sapiens (wise man) or rabbits. Wise, indeed.
Every day (yes, per day) perhaps 20,000 children die from diarrhea because nobody had put a few drops of laundry bleach in the drinking water. That’s about six 9/11′s every day!
