Blinded by their religious faith

There are none so blind as those who will not see, and the perfect example of this was the Pro-life movement, led by the religious right, descending on Parliment Hill claiming to protect the rights of the unborn and uphold the sanctity of human life.

What about the women and girls with this? Millions of girls are being condemned to a life of inequality and poverty. Women are still victims of discrimination in the workplace. Million girls and women a year still suffer genital mutilation, half a million die during pregnancy (either unwanted or not). Girls and women don't even receive primary or basic school education and having a baby at a young age means women are more likely to miss out on education and slip into poverty.

Human failure to make an equal, more just world has resulted in the most intolerable of situations. To discriminate on the basis of sex and gender is morally indefensible; it is economically, politically and socially unsupportable.

Blind faith or blind indiferences must shield these people from their own moral hypocrisy. Their religious policies and doctrines regarding family planning and birth control are responsible for creating circunstances that continue to cause the unnecesary deaths of millions of women and children in the Thild World.

Over-population, starvation, disease, murder,raped, planned abortions, sex gender preference, cannot be staved off by abstinance and the rhythm method. Rape, abused and incest on girls and teens's abortion would not be necesary if medieval politics were replaced by family counselling, family planning, family protection and responsable birth control.
