AP Interview: UN wants better family planning

DAVOS, Switzerland — The U.N.'s top population official wants governments to do more to ensure that women have access to family planning.

The U.N. says the world will add a billion people to its current population of some 7 billion within a decade, further straining the planet's resources.

Babatunde Osotimehin, executive director of the U.N. Population Fund, says more than 220 million women in the developing world want family planning but aren't getting it.

Speaking to The Associated Press at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he said many women want to have fewer children and that "30 percent of those who die giving birth we can prevent with family planning."

He also called for providing girls with "comprehensive sexuality education."

Makes sense in a world that is overpopulated with humans. We either figure out how to slow the rate of population growth or mother nature will do it for us.

Yep. It seems those populations that can least afford the extra mouths to feed, are the same populations that need to practice birth control the most. The Catholic Church could start, by not telling their flocks that overpopulation is a myth.

Wow you made sense... Let me take note

Big fight in the Philippines about that now.
