Is birth control good for poor people globally to have?

[Craig234]

I read somewhere that 99% of the next billion people born will be in the bottom 20% economically. I haven't checked the figure, but.

When the US was Uncle Sam instead of Uncle Scrooge, it provided some amount birth control to poor people globally.

trump just destroyed $10 million worth rather than give it to them. NY Times:

$10 Million in Contraceptives Have Been Destroyed on Orders From Trump Officials​

The pills, intrauterine devices and hormonal implants, valued at about $9.7 million, had been purchased by U.S.A.I.D. for women in low-income countries.

Yes, that option is good for over populated areas of the world that are typically pretty poor as well.

One thing to point out, most of those very poor places have high child mortality and people's children are their "retirement". There are practical reasons they have high numbers of children.

Taco and his monied elite buddies see the value in a large working class to feed their portfolios.

I take issue with your was Uncle Sam and now Uncle Scrooge. Even with the current events taking place over budget cuts, the USA is the most generous nation in the world. We give billions upon billions to people and foreign organization all over the globe. Your negative and completely misinformed statement merely reflects what's wrong in the country. People making or repeating claims that lead others to think or act a certain way, and the information they put out there is wrong. Misinformation, often deliberate lies, only serve to harm the country and the bias you show about the country that gives you whatever freedoms and rights you have deserves better than deliberate lies.
The US is regularly condemned by some people for acting or not acting as they would like. Try love of country as a change of pace.

This is pretty inexplicable. The Earth is drowning in human waste. If the Earth dies, even the rich will die. Do they really believe some billionaire is going to make a Mars colony that can last for years without help from Earth?

Abstinence would be good for poorer countries that cannot take care of their own. As for people being poor and having babies, that's just being stupid. Let's put the blame where is lies, much of the problem is from people being reckless. Unmarried, uneducated, young, low or even no income, and yet they are having babies because their hormones rule their actions. Too many people believe somebody else is responsible for taking care of their needs.
