you;re too educated for this time of thinking b.

poverty should not be an indication to stop procreation.

instead of trying to control what women do with their bodies, how about we address the social and economic inequities that keep them in a perpetual cycle?

knowledge and empowerment will last longer than control and restraint

The answer you are looking for will not be found on bhm. take a social science class, it will do you more good than posting posting paragraphs on this site. I agree with igotsunshine, there are a bunch of factors that play I to this.

I stand corrected, afro is spot on. I know there are some other members who are very well versed on this topic. Hopefully they come in, so you're not left reading ignorant ass responses. I have to go to work.
