1. That last line in the article is the crux of the matter.

Back in the Sixties, birth control was referred to as family planning. Trusting people to know what is best for them and any possible offspring is bedrock basic. Not everyone wants to be a parent, which in an intelligent society is a choice that would be respected.
I despise this hateful and oppressive paternalistic attitude, that fundy fanatics know better than anyone what is good for them.
And the people who push this forced birth $hit have no desire to provide jobs that pay a livable wage, or healthcare or child care, etc, ad nauseum.
Their stupid religion sells them a fantasy world where it's acceptable and sustainable to fill the planet up with wall-to-wall people packed in like sardines in a can because somehow their Gawd cares only about human life and will miraculously fix everything for them.
