People in "third world countries" should not have children they cannot support...
Yes we are a more privileged society and even though I don't know if god exists I thank my stars and my parents that of all the families' and countries I could have been born into, I got mine!
I am VERY privileged to be in a country that can support and provide when you cant, a country where it is illegal to starve to death, a country who provides even the poorest with the best medical treatment we have.
Unfortunately, not every one is so lucky. Children in those countries are starving to death, and dying from diseases that they cannot get treatment for and that they can also pass onto other children.
Whilst the parents have a right to have children the children should have a right to live and the people giving birth to these children are taking that right away.
I believe it is morally wrong to give birth to a child you know is going to starve to death or die from the disease you carry. To knowingly give birth to a child that you know is going to suffer.
Jon whilst I appreciate your views, you were the one who was against capital punishment because an innocent person "may" be killed yet every day innocent children are being killed by their parents. Parents having these children knowing they are not going to live because they cannot feed them or medicate them for the diseases they are passing on.
Is it their RIGHT to intentionally starve another human being to death? Their RIGHT to intentionally pass on their diseases? Their RIGHT to intentionally kill their child?
