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?
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
(btw your reply is what inspired me to look that up - meant it as a “yes and”) :)
Wow that's wild
If the Catholic Church only had 100 000 members, it would be called a dangerous cult, with politicians calling for its ban.
The obsessively pro-life religion that also strongly shames people, while also not really caring for them either unless they contribute to the cause?
