On reflection, I agree about the wording. I've changed the offending paragraph to read as follows:

Now is not the time to stand on ideological or religious principles against contraception. From this point on, more and more of the babies that are conceived stand a chance of becoming early victims of starvation or disease. Such a ghastly torment must surely be an affront to both Man and God.

On your other point, I don't agree that there are any serious parallels to be drawn between the current situation in Africa and the state of Latin America in the '60s. That situation was essentially political. While the politics certainly don't help the horror story in Africa, their trap is much more fundamental.

If you have nitpicks you'd like me to consider, please shoot me a message. You can do it wither through DU or you can find my email address at my web site.
