Life is not ideal. But I do mean that for the most part they who advocate and practice birth-control do not do so because of poverty. If people who give poverty as their reason for this practice would curtail some of their ambitions they would find that there are other remedies besides birth-control for proper living. If one is poor one does not steal, but adapts himself to reduced circumstances. The fact is that they who practice birth-control mostly want to use it as a help to live beyond their means, or to enjoy sexual privileges without sexual obligations.
Large families are as a rule as prosperous as small families with the same income.
God's way is always the best. The second main reason advanced for birth-control is health. I answer this with one brief sentence. There are more human wrecks from the practice of birth-control than from almost any other cause. Tampering with nature's functions is bad policy even from a human standpoint.
