Not in places where the solution hasn't been successfully obstructed, it's not.The population is still growing.
The solution is a contraceptive that can be completely controlled by women, and that doesn't require anyone to do anything in the heat of the moment.
There is no place where oral contraceptives are widely available to women, and primary education is provided to a majority of girls, where birthrates remain above replacement levels.
The first oral contraceptive pill was approved by the FDA in 1960; At that point, population growth ceased to be an inevitability, and became a choice.
The solution exists and has been demonstrated at scale; Choosing not to allow a perfectly good solution is a political (and religious) issue, rather than a practical one.
SO MUCH THIS ^^^^ !
Where I live there are tons of "Pro-life" people, most of whom opposed Planned Parenthood. But they are just merely judgemental about abortion. PP prevents more abortions than all the hellfire sermons ever. PP delivers good advice, solid information, access to birth control, and they did it in spaces where women felt safe and. with little regard for ability to pay.
That's my idea of true abortion prevention, not "purity rings" and keeping girls safe from sex ed.
I get a little hot around the collar concerning this issue.
