“Have you noticed that all the people in favor of birth control are already born?” – Benny Hill 

Very clever, but my serious point of views is as follows: we should only bring into the world human beings that are wanted, cherished, loved ….and in due course educated.

A woman should always be allowed to choose whether to have a baby or not.  There is quite enough misery on this planet without forcing any mother to have a child.  You only have to look around you in the United States at the hard and exhausting lives of mothers with young children – the need for an income, the struggle with money for food, the sleepless nights.  You have to really want a child and be prepared for an exhausting period in your life.  If you are not committed to motherhood you may not be doing a favor to yourself or the baby.  We don’t know the extent to which  exhaustion, impatience, resentment and mood conveys silently to a young baby.
