Depo-Provera delivery in Ecuador questioned
This is gross. Have I given the impression that I’m not fond of Planned Parenthood yet? The latest news was that they were sending birth control and condoms to Haiti! “Sorry you lost 200,000 of your people. Here’s a way to be sure you don’t have any more!” And now using fishy means to try to cut the numbers of poor Ecuadorians. We tax payers had better not be funding this garbage.

Planned Parenthood Federation is using children to provide birth-control shots to other children in Ecuador.
The organization is training teenagers — “peer promoters,” they are called — to go into rural areas populated by indigenous people, make contact with other children (ranging in age from 11 to 19), and convince them to let them inoculate them with Depo-Provera, which is birth control. According to Global Health Magazine, the program “meets the needs of a particularly underserved and hard-to-reach group, with a new contraceptive method, in a new way.”
Outside of the issue of children administering drugs to other children, Jim Sedlak of American Life League has concerns about the funding behind the program.
“It is being funded by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America,” he reports, “so it is very possible that U.S. tax dollars that go to Planned Parenthood could in fact be funding this whole scheme in Ecuador.”
Plus, he points out, there is apparently no concern over the possible impact on the children receiving the shots. “Obviously, when they go out and they give the shots there’s no medical checkup, there’s no taking of medical histories,” says Sedlak. “It is kids giving kids drugs — and it is absolutely outrageous. It would be totally illegal here in the United States.”

The biggest block to people improving themselves is over population. I do not give money to feed people in countries that do not have a birth control policy because my money would just go to help make more babies that would then need more help from me and others.
I would suggest you read some of the recent posts about countries with low birth rates, particularly China with its one-child policy, and see how that’s working out for them.
