China helps Kenya decrease population
China has joined Kenya’s family planning campaign by donating contraceptives worth Sh4 millions to the Kenyan government….
“We are handing the contraceptives to the ministry of health which will contribute towards achieving aspirations of Vision 2030,” [Minister for Planning Wycliffe Oparanya] said on receiving 5000 contraceptives….
[Oparanya] said that Kenya and China are cooperating in many fields of socio-economic development and that both countries are aware of the challenges of population and development.
“While China is grappling with a large and aging population, Kenya is struggling with a youth and rapidly growing population,” he said.
… [T]he government has set a target of having 52% of all women of reproductive age on contraceptives by the year 2015.
She said that current figure stands at 46% and is one of the factors behind Kenya’s high population growth.
… Catholic bishops of Kenya have strongly opposed [the] global initiative… [and] have reminded the Government of Kenya that many countries, which took such decisions, are now regretting with declining populations and nobody to consume or enjoy the much hyped development.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
And in 50 years or less, Kenya will be the one with the “large and aging population” with not enough youth to support them. Dumb, meet dumber.
And this is why a policy of euthanasia typically eventually follows a policy of abortion/sterilization and so forth. Mess with population once and you have to keep messing with it from then on.
Look at that sweet breastfeeding mama in the picture! Why not teach them to space their babies via breastfeeding–they look open to it! But I guess if you can only have one or two children as a matter of policy, spacing isn’t an issue. Sad.
China actually has a lot of fingers in the Africa pie, which should disturb anyone:

But yes, I don’t think I would take advice on how to get a problem from someone with that problem. That’s why it’s a PROBLEM.
X, I agree. It’s like someone with anorexia trying to get help from someone with bulimia… They both have a problem, but they’re just suffering different types of the problem.
China and Kenya hooking up?
That’s really going to end well.
Do they know that contraceptives poison their environment as well as their bodies? Really not a good idea.
