Human beings perform 46 million abortions annually around the planet. Year in and year out! That’s 46 million women requesting and accepting an abortion of their fetus. According to the World Health Organization, 96 percent of those abortions represent a secondary form of birth control. That means they did not have access to birth control on the front end. It means they either couldn’t feed a child, shelter it or provide for it—or they already had birthed too many children they couldn’t feed or care for.

At the same time, eight million adults and 10 million children under the age of 12 die of starvation and related diseases annually around this planet—18 million human beings. Year in and year out! In my world bicycle travels, I witnessed such massive human die-offs personally. I also witnessed living conditions that would turn the stomach of an average Canadian, European, American.

Two billion human beings live on less than $2.00 per day and over 1.5 billion human beings cannot procure a clean glass of drinking water. Over 2.1 billion humans do not have access to or use of flush toilets with water sewage treatment plants. In India, 1,000 children under the age of 12 die of dysentery, diarrhea and other water borne diseases every day of the year. (Source: www.populationmedia.org) Yet, without birth control, India grows by an added 12 million annually, net gain, on their way from 1.2 billion to 1.6 billion in 39 years. The Ganges River, which I witnessed, flows into the ocean loaded with raw sewage, chemicals and cremated human bodies. It forms a 10,000 mile dead zone at its mouth—where few marine creatures can survive the polluted waters. Today!

Another impoverished nation, Haiti, long before the earthquake, suffered under 9.1 million people on a tiny island desecrated by human overload. They cut 98 percent of their trees. Remember Easter Island’s human population fiasco? Result: extinction of their civilization! Haitians run billions of gallons of raw sewage into the ocean. They live in utter poverty, and yet, because the Catholic Church curtails any birth control, Haiti, already living in appalling human misery—expects to add another 3.1 million onto that island within another decade or so. Because of the lack of birth control, Haitian women birth thousands of children they cannot feed, care for or house. Illiteracy: almost 100 percent. Definition and cause of their poverty: illiteracy, religious mandates and babies.

The third world adds 80 million children annually, net gain. Fact: 57 million humans die off around the planet every year. Humans birth 57 million to replace them while birthing another 80 million to create a net gain—on our way to adding 2 to 3 billion more humans within 40 years.

In other words, the human race seems to love its suffering, its deaths by starvation via all religions that stand against birth control and family planning.

Here in the USA, according to Dottie Lamm, Denver Post last Sunday, “A full 69 percent of African-American children are raised by a single parent, usually the mother.”

They birthed those children because they either didn’t have money or access to birth control. Cost to U.S. taxpayers in Aid to Dependent Children: billions since 1965 when government programs paid for those women to be non-responsible for their actions. White, Black, Hispanic—no difference! Current food stamp usage: 43 million Americans too uneducated, too poor, or incapable of holding down a job to buy food! (Source: Reuters News)

Current high school dropout rates across the nation: 76 percent in Detroit, Michigan; 50 percent in Denver, Colorado; 55 percent in Los Angeles; and most other major cities. Result: 7,000 teenagers per day drop out of high school, 1 every 26 seconds—total of 1.2 million annually—illiterate teens hitting our streets. (Source: Brian Williams, NBC News, CNN)

We may prefer to ignore these sobering statistics, but they will not ignore us or our civilization—given enough time—complete breakdown of our welfare, educational, medical and prison systems.

THE GREAT ABORTION DEBATE

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives voted down funds for International Family Planning as well as in the United States, i.e., birth control, family counseling regarding “wanted births” as well as termination of pregnancy. They removed the very funds that could alleviate human suffering by providing birth control and family counseling for millions of America’s and third world poor.

Let me be clear: I am not in favor of abortion. Used as birth control, it remains insensible!

Common sense: I am in favor of birth control so that abortion would become largely obviated.

If the House carries through with its ‘charge’ to stop family planning, sex education and family size counseling—its collective choice will generate added millions to that 46 million annual abortions. At the same time, it will cause millions more starvations of adults and children that do become born. It will add to environmental devastation now taking place around the planet as we add 80 million humans annually.

CONSIDER THESE FINANCIAL OUTLAYS ON TOP OF HUMAN DEGRADATION

Cost of International Family Planning: $130 million annually. Planned Parenthood in the USA: Less than $50 million.

Cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars: $12 billion every 30 days. That’s correct; we pay out $12 billion every month to kill people. We killed millions in Korea. We killed over 2.1 million in the Vietnam War. We masterfully snuff out lives in other countries. We have killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan while displacing 2.5 million as refugees.

I must ask: how many rational people reading this column think it’s okay to kill, maim and displace THAT many people in other countries—spend THAT much money on human death—and stand by to witness THAT much misery around the planet, as well as accelerating environmental carnage, while the majority of scientists assure us accelerating backlash by Mother Earth?

You find those actions unconscionable don’t you. Yet by refusing to speak out, you remain complicit in denying to support birth control for women that desperately need it in the USA and abroad.

Tell me—and your friends—why you support the Pope’s advocacy against birth control when you see the poignant results in Haiti, Mexico and every other Catholic-dominated country. The same goes for Islam, Buddhism, Hindus and other religions. What malady within humanity propels human wretchedness over common sense?

When will we Americans face up to the fact that it’s better to proactively prevent conception rather than abort a fetus at the back end of that conception? When will we come to our senses and support birth control rather than do everything in our power to stop it—yet stand gasping in anger at the abortion rates?



You’re invited to get off your ‘righteous indignation’ and get down to reality. Get down to reasoned thinking!

I know the pics I would place here would be pulled.

Maybe places where kids are starving to death, flies swarming in and out of babies mouths, abortion and sterilization might be a good thing.

Let me add this, and it really really makes me mad!

Insurance companies would not cover the cost of a tubal pregnancy when the risk was to the mother's LIFE. This is NOT government. This was a health insurance company that she was paying for. The reason was that it had to do with "pregnancy." It was a matter of LIFE AND DEATH for this woman. She had to pay for it herself.

Then, they came out with a pill to help men get their hard on's. Viagra. This was immediately covered by all insurance companies.

WTF!

They pay for pills to get a hard on so a man can have sex until he dies of a heart attack from it at age 80, and they refuse to pay for emergency surgery for a woman who has a tubal pregnancy. WTF.

This is clearly unfair.

Therefore I BLAME MEN!

Then, they came out with a pill to help men get their hard on's. Viagra. This was immediately covered by all insurance companies.

Really? And the women have no part in intercourse which makes babies? It takes 2 to tango.

Really? And the women have no part in intercourse which makes babies? It takes 2 to tango.

Of course they do, but they are sometimes too weak to refuse.

Men force themselves on women. Men want to rule the damn world so they should take the responsibility for the babies they father! How many women are raising their children alone? LOTS!

Men CAN SAY NO. Men CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

And how many men hate to use condoms?

Grow up. Take some responsibility.

It is mostly men who are against abortion. It is mostly men who want to shut it down.

How would they like it if women, all women told them no more sex?

Men seem to feel that have a right to it.

Excellent article!!!

I've been wondering why our government is happily allowing bans and restrictions to access to birth control and abortions when there are so many people on welfare in this country. Especially because so many are screaming to do away with it, because no one wants to pay to feed these people, keep them housed etc.

speak for yourself equus

many do indeed wish to do their part to help those in need, god forbid they are the ones who are on the NEEDING end someday

I was thinking more about those who are on welfare for years and years and years, because its easier to stay on welfare then actually work.

I don't actually have a problem with helping those for sort-term as I've needed to do it before too. A boost is extremely helpful and appreciated!

jeannie, I am not in favor of abortion, but I was also struck by the particularly misogynistic tone of this piece. AS if the men who rule this world could not engage in keeping it in their pants more often or using a CONDOM, instead of just laying all the responsibility on the women after they have had their fun and helped CREATE a life,,,

but its all about the women who CHOSE to be so irresponsible or who couldnt just kill the thing or who didnt get on a pill before HE had his fun with them,,,

truly amazing

The truth is, if men were not wired with such a strong sex drive and if they had more self control, then unwanted pregnancies may not be such a problem and abortion would not be an issue.

Instead, young men are going to boot camps to learn how to pick up girls and score, and old men are taking viagra so they can continue to get their jollies.

I do think that older men are probably much more responsible in that respect than the young men.

And these days the girls are so forward, they too are to blame. But girls say "no" more than boys do.

For third world countries, they might offer sterilization for people who don't want to reproduce. It is easy for a man, not so easy for a woman.

A young woman in this country would have a hard time trying to find a doctor who would sterilize her or tie her tubes because of her age.

I know the pics I would place here would be pulled.

Maybe places where kids are starving to death, flies swarming in and out of babies mouths, abortion and sterilization might be a good thing.
