“Women Deliver” speakers encourage poor women not to deliver
A billionaire and a princess graced the stage to tell nurses and clean water advocates that any effort to help poor women is secondary to giving them contraception and abortion.
Sexual and reproductive rights are “at the core of human life,” said Princess Mary of Denmark. Until women have power not to have children, they won’t have power to improve nutrition, grow crops, or deliver babies safely, said Melinda Gates.
“Pregnancy is not natural,” said Frances Kissling, the former head of Catholics for Choice.
And with that, the sharp divide became apparent between first-world activists who want a universal right to abortion and the poor women they believe should have fewer children….
The first Women Deliver in 2007 presented family planning and abortion as the solution to reduce deaths from pregnancy and childbirth. The second conference in 2010 ran into trouble when new research showed the annual number of maternal deaths is far less than the estimated 536,000.
Attendees complained this year’s conference offered no program to address maternal mortality except to enhance midwives to be trained to provide abortion….
A… participant noted $8 billion a year goes to family planning and advocates are demanding more. Yet “they don’t want to share it” with other causes. “And they don’t want to give any other group a platform that will distract from expanding abortion.”

“Pregnancy is not natural.”
Really? Um, how come? Does this mean our earliest ancestors were the original creators of IVF? Wow.

“Pregnancy is not natural,”
We should expect exactly this sort of inversion of reality from a group that calls itself “Catholics for Choice.”

Do these poor women even WANT contraception and abortion? Maybe they want large families and just don’t want to die in the process.

What a bunch of pompous prisses.
I hate to break this to you, ladies, but my large family planted crops to help supplement our food supply every single year. None of my mother’s eight pregnancies prevented her from assisting in that endeavor.
These biddies can all get stuffed.

They care so much for the poor that they want to eradicate the poor, not their poverty. Poverty gives these pseudo do-gooders the pretext for the elimination of people who are poor instead of the conditions making them poor. Misanthropes the whole lot of them.

Who better than a Danish princess and the wife of a billionaire to discuss the issues most important to poor women and to speak on their behalf?

Right, Mary, these powerful women are all for killing the children of the powerless. The power to kill. That is what they advocate. Pure nietzschean will to power orientation.

This is the same classism that has been around for a coupel hundred years. The poor, dark countries of the world keep reproducing at a rate gerater than us civilized white Europeans.
We must do something or they will take us over.
Kissinger’s 1974 report to the US National Security Council:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Study_Memorandum_200
“We must take care that our activities should not give the appearance to the LDCs of an industrialized country policy directed against the LDCs. Caution must be taken that in any approaches in this field we support in the LDCs are ones we can support within this country. “Third World” leaders should be in the forefront and obtain the credit for successful programs. In this context it is important to demonstrate to LDC leaders that such family planning programs have worked and can work within a reasonable period of time.”
“In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion.”
–These efforts have been carried out – to some degree beginning in the reconstruction of Japan, where the population control idea was already in place to a degree, since the 1940s. In the 1950s and bb eyond they speeded up, with major boost in the 1970s, by various U.S.-funded internatioanl organizations and usually with Intl Planned Parenthood Federation in tow.
The rhetoric has been built up about ‘women’s reproductive rights’ so the Western imperialism is not obvious. These women have bought the rhetoric.

Who needs clean water, good nutrition, education, affordable healthcare, sanitation and reliable source of income when you can get contraception and abortion??? Sounds like a no-brainer to me! *sarcasm*

This is just sad. Think of how many wells could be dug to provide clean drinking water for villages, how much medical care, how much food, etc., could be provided by some of the $8 billion that goes towards “family planning.”

Where does spending two billion dollars to eradicate malaria in the developing world fit into this nihilistic plan to eradicate the poor? Just curious.

These “elitist totalitarian dictators” are going to do whatever they want to do.
If they want to control malaria with pesticides and yet reduce the surplus population with contraception, they will continue to tell themselves what fine people they are.

Pregnancy is not natural …pffft then how did she get here? Seems natural to me that when a woman is ovulating and has intercourse with a man a natural consequence is pregnancy. So lets just start killing poor people so the wealthy can have more space on the planet to build their. mansions and park their Lamborghinis. SNOB !!

Some of the most loving giving people I know are the best. Sounds like she’s playing God to me. Instead of trying to help poor folk lets just kill them…especially the recent victims in Oklahoma. sarcasm of course. Ever notice how people who advocate death for others wouldn’t dare take their own lives. PS Rich people are miserable too!

So I see the drone Carhart was present. Someone should have challenged him and asked if having sharp instruments shoved into your cervix and a heavy suction catheter to boot is natural. If so then how so? How about the women who won’t ever live to birth another child again or live to see another birthday is natural.

Years ago, when I first started looking into the whole anti-human population myth/contraceptive mess I read a survery taken from women in an African humanitarian aid shelter where the women were asked to rate help with various things in ranking of importance. Not surprising help with ‘food’ and ‘clean water’ topped the list, in the *very last spot* behind even ‘other’ was ‘reproductive services’. The reason they have to spend litterally billions of dollars on ‘reproductive services’ is because they ARE NOT WANTED by their target demographic. Poor people in developing countries know their best access to greater wealth is a large family, it means more help, more oppertunities, more income, more surviors in times of war and famine, etc. Aid camps are flooded with condoms and abortion packs that sit unused but take up space and time away from services actually wanted. The anti-humanists don’t care, they aren’t interested in helping, malaria could be completely irradicated if they spent the money used on contraceptives on medication and infastructure changes, they aren’t interested in that, they are interested in making sure the developing worlds stop breeding.

A bunch of rich white elitist women and men who want those poor people to stop breeding and messing up their tidy little playground of a world. Well, shades of Margaret Sanger, Charles Darwin, and the early eugenicists! It looks like not much has changed. It’s still survival of the fittest, meaning those who have the fortune to be white and wealthy, and might makes right. How we have evolved!

Your cheap shot missed the backboard and net, and sailed off the court.
Ryan’s budget was a plan to control spending and stop borrowing, so children wouldn’t be born into an overwhelming debt. And to basically save us all from financial crash and catastrophe.
Much smarter and far more altruistic than coerced contraception.

This just seems like another “white savior” type of thing, people thinking they can go into other cultures and decide how they should be run. From what I gather talking to immigrants and foreign students, people in developing countries appreciate western financial help, and other forms of assistance, but they don’t like being overrun by these organizations. If people actually want to help other countries, they need to financially or otherwise support local organizations and businesses run by locals to get the help where it’s needed and where the people actually want it. You can help struggling nations without imposing your values and ideas on them. It’s not the US! They have their own culture and their own needs.

“Poor people in developing countries know their best access to greater wealth is a large family, it means more help, more oppertunities, more income, more surviors in times of war and famine, etc.”
Yet this greater wealth continues to elude them as they rely on the generosity of European and American benefactors for basic necessities. Maybe this unfettered reproduction thing isn’t working out so well.

More evidence of the nefarious plot to stop breeding in the developing world by improving sanitation techniques and maternal mortality. Sub-Saharan Africa doesn’t need the cultural imperialist meddling of the Gates Foundation, with its billions of dollars in aid and assistance. It needs crisis pregnancy centers and churches and pro-lifers with stupid cardboard signs.

Princess Mary of Denmark looks lovely. She has a wonderfully wholesome quality and also looks truly “royal” with all that jewelry.
