Have they finally got the message?

/// The need for money – and awareness campaigns – to help these women is so critical that the British government and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are holding a summit on family planning in London next month. They aim to provide 120 million of the world's poorest women with access to contraception over the next eight years, at an estimated cost of almost £2.6bn. ///

Once again it looks as if it is down to the British taxpayer to dip their hands in their pockets.

But at least it seems they have finely got the message about the main cause for Africa's problems.

Too many kids!!!!!!!

Exactly

That article isn`t about people having too many kids. It`s about girls getting pregnant at a young age and their mortality rates suffering as a result. A completely different issue.

Further, I haven`t seen women with "too many kids" in Africa. The infant/mortality rate sees to that. The only people I`ve seen people with a tribe of kids in tow are Hasidic Jews. Maybe you should address your issues about too many kids to them and see what kind of reception you get.

omg

the underlying problem is the same, no matter how you dress it.

As I have said many times on this site, I would be quite willing to dip into my pocket to pay for contraception, but I wont dip in to just feed them as it just compounds the problem.

We need to stop the breeding rate in this country too, particularly from the feckless.

Here's proof of what I say, and please note this is a Guardian report not a Daily Mail one.

/// John Baliruno, of Mpigi in central Uganda, has fathered nine children. "I never intended to have such a big number," he reflected last week. "I with my wife had no knowledge of family planning and ended up producing one child after another. Now I cannot properly feed them." ///

/// Uganda's population of 34.5 million is expected to treble by 2050. Baliruno, 45, fears for the country's future. "The environment is being destroyed by the growing population, ///

/// Africa, the world's poorest continent, also has its highest birth rate. A woman in sub-Saharan Africa will give birth to an average of 5.2 children in her lifetime. Africa's population of 1 billion is predicted to more than double in 40 years to 2.3 billion, accounting for about half of projected global growth over that period. ///

Andrew Mitchell was on TV this morning talking about giving contraception to those African women 'WHO WANT IT'. But that's the problem, they don't want it as they need offspring to help out the family as they get older.
