I don't give a crap about your blatantly sexist Declaration of Human Rights.

...

And why don't you at least be honest. The burden will fall on men. As is pretty much explicitly stated by the inclusion of motherhood, but not fatherhood.

Women carry, birth, and feed babies. Deal with it. :rolleyes:

You want contraception in poor countries? Put down the dick! There's your family planning.

Doesn't work there, because sex is one of their very limited entertainments.
Sterilization, on the other side, would work wonders...

Birth control also doesn't work well because men value having a large family in many of these countries. And the people who distribute contraceptives completely ignore men and will even distribute contraceptives to women behind their husband's back. Do I really need to explain why this is a bad idea?

What is really needed is a cultural change. But then we know liberals would never force their values and other people :p

I'd be all in favor of sterilizing women from birth and just having an egg bank where they can be artificially impregnated. Applications can be filed and approved based on economic viability and the location's population needs. It really would put some oomph into central planning and solve many problems before they start.

Wouls also completely solve genetic abnormalities and diseases, since before implant there would be a health check.

You're welcome.

UN needs to back the USA or vice-versa as a global government now and we need to have a global election to get this party started.

The Bill of Rights does not establish any precedent that people are protected from burden. However, since the early start of our government, we DO have:

- taxes
- military draft
- eminent domain

When we look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we then have Article 25:

(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.


In order for all people to enjoy this right of an adequate standard of living, the burden will have to be distributed and not everyone is going to put in as much as they get out.

When did the US ratify the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

How do they define right? Does right mean nobody can prevent you from buying/using contraceptives - which I agree with. Or does right mean everybody should have it provided to them - which I strongly disagree with.

Keep penis in pants. Best form of contraception. Everyone has access to that.

You might ask why Muslims can have multiple wives. Isnt that part of the population problem?

Why should I have to pay for some woman to play the slut?

If you pay for it, it makes her a hooker :p

Although, normally when you pay for a hooker she has to have sex with you. Women who want you to pay for their contraceptives while having sex with other men are beneath hookers.

Rights do not confer burdens on others.

For example the right to freedom of the press does not mean other people are required to provide me with a printing press(or laser printer or website if you want to update it to be more modern).

Or freedom of speech does not require anyone to pay for a podium, speaker system, etc. Freedom of religion does not mean requiring atheists to pay for a church, reading room, mosque, etc.
