Do you think that people in Africa should be given birth control?

Question

there are a lot of kids out there who don't have a big chance

of living and are being born with AIDS. so do you think that

people should be given birth control so kids will stop being

born with AIDS? and also because people are poor there

and it would be hard to be in charge of another human

being when you can barely take care of yourself.

Answer 1

The people in Africa that you talk of are the poor, they can hardly survive and their only hope if they do make it to old age is that they will have children to look after them.

Answer 2

...Do you think that people in Africa should be given birth control?

I think we should just add it to the water supply globally..

Answer 3

It's not always their choice you know. Most of the time they're raped, and they really don't have a lot of kids. Average is two.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Everyone has the right to choose what they want. You cannot decide what is good for them based on your beliefs. So leave it to the qualified people to solve it.  

Answer 6

aids is a lifestyle disease and if you sleep around you will catch and std, so education is one answer and the help to make a decent living.

i can remember a man on the tv saying in your country you have social security to him his social security was his sons the more sons the more security.

Answer 7

No.

Let Africans buy what they can afford.  

AIDS prevention habits are something Africa has yet to step up to.

Even with the support systems Non-Africans contribute AIDS remains

a wildfire crossing every border.

What we should do is hose our interests, clear the flammable scrub,

and win on a four narrow fronts rather than lose the whole thing.  Let's save Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco, and South Africa.  I won't miss Sudan.
