You know what? It doesn't matter. This planet will go on just fine with or without humans on it. We're just a hiccup; inconsequential. Either we'll figure things out and it won't be an issue, or we won't figure things out and self-destruct. In the latter case, the planet will recover.
However, my cult-classic smartazz response says: Soylent Green.
Aborting viable humans is a great way to control the population?
Are you in the pest control business?
And many (possibly most) pro-lifers don't have an issue with contraception.
This one doesn't anyway.
Tacos are the devils food! They are handy, delicious and perfect. As such I'm better than them. I don't need them if they don't love me like I love them. I've moved on to Chalupa's. They are my new love.
Again..

Back to the subject at hand.. I'm less concerned with constraints on contraception as it relates population control. I'm more concerned with certain religious groups promoting the non-use of contraception in areas of the world with a high AIDS population.
I too have issues with people who, in the face of overpopulation, dwindling resources, AIDS, etc., don't see a need for birth control! We are NOT living 500 years ago and some groups (including the Catholic Church, for one) need to get with the times.
I don't, however, think abortion should ever be forced on anyone as a means of birth control. It's a very personal issue and should be left as such.
I read this in the one article "Conservative Catholic opinion on condoms is not intended to be cruel. As traditional Catholics see it, using condoms is wrong, even as a prophylactic against disease, because they prevent conception. Life, from the moment of conception to death is, Catholics believe, sacred." That very quote seems enough to counter the arguments against condoms. I mean life isn't life until it's life, right?

Oh well. I don't get that at all.
FTR, I ain't Catholic.
More sad than scary in my book.. I have nothing against the Catholic church as I know they do many good things. However, in this instance they are wrong.
