Birth Control Impossible due to Religion, they prefer you die of starvation, disease, and war

What a horror: so-called “Pro-Life” religions force their nasty beliefs on a woman’s right to control her own destiny and a civilizations ability to decently house and feed citizens, dooming societies of the future crazed from hunger and disease brought on by overpopulation and destruction of natural resources to Hitler-like regimes that will torture, kidnap, and slaughter civilians by the millions, or endless social chaos as in the Democratic Republic of Congo with child soldiers and enslaved villages, young women raped at will — all for a few extra coins in the church offertory, and lower wages in factories and offices.
