Agreed. Birth control is free in other countries, right? My aunt is having her 5th kid because the catholic hospital she had her last kid in wouldn't tie her tubes. Apparently she couldn't otherwise make an appointment or take care of it? I think it was probably a cost/insurance issue. It's people that aren't thinking or don't have the money for birth control that have too many kids they can't afford. Although she's a good mom and can support all of her children, it is just a struggle. To me it's silly because if you can't afford birth control you certainly can't afford a kid. Then again you can't exactly get it through WIC.
