That leads to more people fighting for the worlds resources which could lead to wars being started due to lack of resources because of overpopulation. Wars can lead to Americans abroad being caught in the cross fire.
I'm an Obama supporter and not a pro-lifer but I don't support this. I don't see why our money should go toward those sorts of groups abroad.

What sorts of groups, Sparkly? The sorts of groups that can help prevent the transmission of AIDS to babies and other adults?

I'm not convinced overpopulation is the biggest problem contraception will solve. But I do know it could reduce the cases of AIDS, and that's worth
doing.

Will this help any US based groups though? Or is this only abroad? I'm sure places here could use the money too though right?

Question: Does this money go to places like China that force women to get abortions?

I'm 99% sure that the Chinese government doesn't force women to get abortions.

Oh geez, it's just a question. My Republican friend brought it up so I asked because I didn't know what to say to her.
