Children were supposed to be born who were not born. We see from this account that contraception thwarts God s plan for life and that God repudiates contraception. Children enrich the parents, making them less selfish. Children become adult inventors that solve the world s problems. Children become adult apostles to proclaim the Word.
Large populations raise the standard of living by providing a wide variety of goods and services.
Also, these services are provided at a lower cost per person. For example, a small town with a population of 1000 people cannot afford its own water sanitation plant. At least 100,000 people are needed. Large populations are necessary to support a telephone industry or an automobile industry. The United States is the third most populous nation on earth, after China and India.
