There seem to be a class of people who believe that any problem in the world can be solved if only there were enough condoms.
One problem with this theory is that condoms might not properly fit the pre-teen set. The Swiss have come up with a brilliant solution.
Extra small condoms for boys as young as 12 could soon be on our shelves. Read more…
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.” Read more…
Wow. Planned Parenthood is really something else. After what happened in Haiti, they think people want The Pill more than they want food and clean water. Can you imagine sending money to PP to fund that? Morons.

Oh, terrific. Another China. As though things are just peachy over there. Right now the policy is voluntary, but I wonder how long that will last?

Bangladesh is going to introduce a voluntary “one couple, one child” population planning policy by 2015 to curb its growing population.
The Director General of the Directorate of Family Planning Mohammad Abdul Qayyum told the Chinese news agency Xinhua that: “The Chinese policy influenced us in framing our policy though we are not making it mandatory.” He said that the government plans to promote a “No more than two children, one is best”.
Time to start having kids, China. If you still can.

China’s rapid economic development and America’s evident vulnerabilty after the Global Financial Crisis could make the Chinese a bit smug. But as leading demographer Nicholas Eberstadt points out in a frightening article in the Far Eastern Economic Review, China faces gigantic economic problems as the legacy of its one-child policy.

Ugandan attitudes towards homosexuals have a lot to do with their attitudes towards fertility.
A three-day international conference on family planning took place in the Ugandan capital of Kampala last month. More than 1,000 health workers from 59 countries applauded a US$12 million grant from the Americans for launching a family planning drive in Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Kenya, as well as Indonesia and Pakistan. Everyone was relieved that President Obama had rescinded George Bush’s Mexico City policy which had banned funding agencies which provided abortion services or counselling. Read more…

World AIDS Day 2009 reminds us once again of the failure of risk reduction strategies.
December 1, 2009 is World AIDS Day — the first in the era of “hope and change”. So it is a particularly good time to ponder how well “risk reduction” measures for AIDS control — the most emphasised approaches to preventing new HIV cases — produce change and generate hope. Read more…
