It is also impractical. Many a man will beat a woman/wife until she has sex with him. In India they can burn her to death, or push her down a well, or kill her in all sorts of creative ways if she is not obedient. Of course people in the developed world don't want to think about that. It's ugly and scary and probably threatens the fabric of their plush reality. Or maybe not. Maybe they just don't care. I don't know. I do know that lots of infant girls are exposed or meet with "accidents" after birth. Better that they were aborted (imo). But that's just an opinion. I've got no Holy tablets saying such things. And no one else does either.

But... she cared about as much about human suffering as twfowler does; and if twfowler doesn't oppose birth control for the poverty stricken masses huddling to be fed in Calcutta, then she cared about it even less. Your conclusion does not logically follow from your premises. The fact that you don't agree with a certain proposal or action that may help reduce some suffering does not mean that you don't care about suffering. You don't have enough information about me to really know what I care about and your idea that Mother Teresa didn't care about the suffering of the people in India is directly contradicted by the evidence of how she lived her life.
