        Birth control is good for Africa, because the available resources can't take care of everyone.

        I disagree unequivocally. The present leaders are bad for Africa. Trust, there's enough resources to go around!

        Even developed countries are using birth control, not to mention Africa.

        Birth control is not just about population control. It's about the individual's autonomy to make decisions about their own bodies

        Hope you have the finances, land, food & everything else needed for a population expansion. Otherwise it will bankrupt the country, destroy natural habitats , increase more species of animals on the verge of extinction & worse lead to civil unrest.

        Men do not deserve positions of leadership. People should stop putting them in positions of power. Seriously.

        Abortions, birth control and contraceptives would solve many problems in Africa. Another conservative religious idiot dictating to others how they should live, and treating women like property.

        I thought birth control dictates how if or not babies should live?
