Thousands of children die every day from malaria. And yet our government still spends hundreds of millions of dollars on family planning projects around the world.

The culture of death is mainstream. The insulting comments below show how the brainwashing works quite well. Anyone advocating for the lives of the poor and marginalized must be "religious" and therefore "retarded." But the Internet itself enables such ad hominem attacks to pass for "argument." Both the heart and the mind are diminished by the prevailing anti-life ideology.

Of course we should spend more on malaria, but WTF does that have to do with family planning? There are other things that are bigger wastes of money and are far more controversial, where we could find the meager amount necessary to meet our malaria pledge. The war in Afghanistan, perhaps?

If your goal is to fight malaria, you really did your cause a disservice by pitting it against family planning. And if your goal is to stop family planning, your silly attempt to tie it to malaria didn't work.

@Joeaho How so, you do realise this is just a myth perpetuated by warmongering bankers who have a secret agenda.

I would rather they provided mercury free vaccines to the world and stopped bankrolling wars, put money into renewable energy and research into improved farming techniques....but no they demonise hemp, which was an original biofuel and hide every discovery made to keep the world down.

You need to go and educate yourself, if the people in charge of you will allow it that is.
