Philippine top court approves birth control law

Let's hope the next hundred years go without two world wars.
Although I guess it's one more way of keeping the population down!

 

More like the 19th century..... The way its run

 

Women’s rights groups and other supporters of the law say it will be a powerful tool in fighting poverty and cutting the birth rate of 3.54, one of the highest in the world.

the number of kids per woman in the Philippines, is much lower than 3.54, and is in fact only just above 3. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2127rank.html

a few years ago Philippines did not even have the highest fertility rate per woman in SEA. Laos and Cambodia were both of them ahead, however those two countries' rates are dropping like a stone, like Thailand's rate dropped like a stone from 20 years ago (The Thai rate has nearly halved in that time).

a bit silly to say the Philippines has one of the highest fertility rates in the world when there are over 50 countries ahead of them on the list.
