The reason many die in childbirth is that access to healthcare is sporadic at best, and in some Islamic countries women are denied heathcare all together. Many women in the third World have no choice because they have no power. Education is the only thing that will save them in the long run, but like access to healthcare, access to education is not a right for women.
Finally, to refer to them as "breeding" likens them to animals.

I think as a woman - and one that thinks if a mother cannot feed the children she already has - nor feed herself thus endangering both her life and the life of her 'baby to be' - to bring another mouth to fed, clothe etc is sheer idiocy.
I don't need some lecturing educational lesson from you. I'm very well aware why the normal methods of contraception are not successful. Plenty are privvy to education by means of volunteers and various charities and organisations who set out to do exactly this - and as you say, these methods are shunned.
The Chinese introduced a similar policy - to deal with overpopulation.
I will refer to people breeding if I so chose. That is precisely what we do... breed. If you don't like that word, that's your issue, not mine.
Quit with the dramatics and Hitler. Goodwins Law kicks in - you lost the debate Livia.
