>>The concept "artificial birth control" is obscene.<<

Obscenity, of course, is in the eyes of the beholder.

Do the illiterate women you mention understand the side effects of Depo-Provera or Norplant? Are they able to make an informed choice? Do they know that if they are injected when they are pregnant there is a risk of birth defects? Do the people who inject them make sure they aren't pregnant? Do they know these drugs cause osteoporis? Do they know that these drugs may make them more susceptible to STDs and HIV? Do they know that for women under 35 it increases the risk of breast cancer?

Are they monitored for liver disease? Are they monitored for blood clots? Do they know that the drug causes an increased risk of blood clots that can kill them?

Are you sure this isn't being pushed in the Third World to keep "them" from reproducing? If Depo-Provera is such a good drug, why don't educated white women in this country use it?
