On November 15th the world officially reached 8 billion people according to United Nations official sources. Many questions come to play, questions that we’ve never had to ask before, and there seem to be divided opinions on how to face a reality that challenges us all to analyze the course of man’s action to mitigate some of the negative effects of the ever-growing world we live in. The progressive far left, also funded by wealthy superpowers, believes the only solution is to reduce the population, doing that so for example, by funding more and more abortion clinics.
The International Conference on Family Planning seems to coincidentally happen at this decisive moment for mankind. From November 14th to 17th, thousands of people representing all kinds of sectors of the public and private world, gathered in Pattaya City, Thailand, to discuss among other topics, contraception and the so-called ‘Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights.
One of the conferences was ‘From idea to implementation: Delivering on the promise of contraceptive technology innovation’ led by Rebecca Callahan, Director, Research & Operations, Product Development & Introduction of FHI 360, Amelia Mackenzie, Scientist, and Product Development & Introduction of FHI 360 as well, Aisha Fatima, Senior Program Manager at Jhpiego Pakistan and Paul Nyachae, Project Director at TCI East Africa.
One of the key points was the urging need of speeding up the process into a more and more accessible means of contraception that in my own words is ‘human-centered designed’. This means that contraceptive devices are particularly designed to meet the needs of each individual.
Now, it is true the fact that we are many. Does that mean that we have to create a culture that desires to deaccelerate its growing need to focus on contraception? Do organizations, and public entities, among others going to start working harder toward abortionists’ agendas with the excuse of population growth? Are people’s health reduced to numbers that they need to control and generate industrial-wide solutions? No. Absolutely not.
Again, it’s true that we are many. But it’s also true that at conferences like these the main points of attention are the developing countries. Especially in central and Latin America, Africa, and Asia. One cannot help but think that it sounds like a real attempt of neocolonialism covered in the words of ‘human rights’. To them, I tell them: nothing that purposefully ends the life of a defenseless child can be considered human rights.
So, what’s the solution? The answer is far from simple. But I believe I know where we can start as individuals and organizations: To create societies where real family planning takes place. Where women can decide at what age they want to marry and not be forced, where marriage is enhanced by federal support protected by the constitution as the institution that family is, where countries create natality programs where women have pregnancy support and free access to health, where they can go to work without a risk of being fired, and especially where life is not reduced to a needle that will stop you from conceiving and potentially harm you, or to expand the abortion business that so many deaths have claimed, but where every life is respected from conception to natural death.
