You are misquoting her. She is in favour of contraception. That gives a woman control over whether her body will become pregnant.
I think you should elaborate. Your view is not very clear.
- jonah 14y agoNot really. Birth control reduces the number of people born. I'm not saying anything about motives or whether it's the right thing to do or not, rather simply pointing it out. http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/2012/jul/11/rich-countries-pledge-family-planning-women http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/2012/jul/11/ric... http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/Search.aspx?meta=MDContentType%3aGrant%3bMDTopic%3aFamily+Planning http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/Search.aspx?meta=MDCont...
- adaml_623 14y agoSlightly deeper philosophical point I think you're getting at there but I think reducing the number of people born is not equivalent to not valuing a life.

- andreasvc 14y agoBirth control doesn't have to reduce the number of people that are born. It means having a choice, which reduces the number of unwanted children or children who cannot be cared for, which can ultimately to a happier, more productive and reproductive population, given that the children who are born can be better nurtured. Are you against birth control for religious reasons?
