    Off-topic:

    There was one guy who said I make up 1 in 75 in his family…

    Are their families seriously 75 strong? Birth control sounds like an enormous issue in this part of the world.

      4 Grand parents, 2 parents, 4 aunt’s and uncles, 12 cousins, 2 siblings, 42 nieces and nephews. And multiply by 2 on your wife’s side. It’s not really that crazy.

        I mean…even for someone in a wealthy context, that would seem oversized.

        Thr birth control topic seems like something nobody wants to touch with a 43 1/2 foot pole…

        Sounds like condoms would be manna from heaven in terms of keeping things reasonable. Nobodies going to subsidize people who can’t afford 1 kid having 10

          How so? Each member is only raising four or three children here. If you’re having issues with people having more than two children then that’s just kind of ridiculous, frankly.

          Also raising children being a ridiculously expensive affair is partly a Western problem with uniquely Western causes. It’s not a thing everywhere.

          The only 13.2588 meter pole here is the one you’re using to avoid saying “I’m pro-eugenics” with.

            No, I just don’t think every time anyone anywhere in the world has sex it should necessarily equate to another +1 mouth to feed and the added pressure of being responsible for yet another being because you had sex for any other reason than procreation, god forbid

      Birth control seems like a slightly less pressing issue than an ongoing genocide. You’re coming off as extremely callous here.
