Pre-teen pregnancies are rising in the Philippines – critics blame the Catholic Church
Experts fear the country’s culture of ‘prevailing conservatism’, created by Catholicism, is a barrier to contraception and sex education
You're viewing a single thread.
It’s absolutely the Catholic Church. The country is incredibly Catholic. They often don’t use any form of birth control nor even tampons as it’s looked down upon. Overpopulated too
Something tells me PRE-teen pregnancies are a bigger problem than whoever's having sex with kids under-13 not using birth control.
Unless it's pre-teens having sex with each other. Then sex education, birth control and access to reproductive rights is the issue to solve.
Fuck, I read that wrong. Pre-teen would be 12 or younger right? What the actual fuck?
They're the same people that oppose sex education and birth control
Almost everywhere is overpopulated.
Have you been to the Philippines though? I met a guy who has 19 siblings
I can't imagine spending the greater part of my life pregnant and caring for one kid after another for even longer.
Bruh you ever seen this
How... HOW DO YOU BIRTH 69 BABIES?
Numbers in bold and italics are likely to be legendary or inexact, some of them having been recorded before the 19th century.
But 33 though, still…
Anything above 4 already impresses me
I don't even want to give birth to one baby let alone an entire herd
Wow that's wild
(btw your reply is what inspired me to look that up - meant it as a “yes and”) :)
