Why is it that everyone leaves the invention of the birth control pill out of this conversation? It is likely more significant (in its effects on the world) than the invention of nuclear weapons.
- kelnos 8y agoBecause people are choosing not to have children, or to have fewer children than they have in the past. Sure, better birth control methods make it easier to realize those choices, but... so what? The alternative is we end up with many more unwanted children, which I hope we agree isn't a good outcome either.
