This might be Social Justice, or maybe Moral Theology.

An article in the newspaper described various religions’ efforts to educate people in developing nations/third world about family planning.

Now here’s my question: thousands of years ago, people learned and passed down from one generation to the next all kinds of knowledge necessary for survival. How can people who understand how to raise goats, herd sheep, and grow crops, still not understand how to manage having children?

You make a good point. When it comes to taboo topics like conjugal intimacies that are embarrassing and inappropriate for polite conversation? None.

But at the same time, I had a pretty good idea of where babies come from, and that one can’t just start making them without having what it takes to raise them.

Not social justice or moral theology, the developed nations who have fewer kids want to prevent poorer nations from population explosion. It would be nice if rural societies could just get by as they did in the past but there is a catch. Infant mortality that used to be rampant in certain places before antibiotics and better management of waste water (this happened decades ago in India) was drastically reduced and people were faced with too many mouths to feed. So one change from the outside engendered a whole series of problems that didn’t exist before.

As for “family planning education”, this ties in very well with Margaret Sanger’s original premise to reduce the number of Negro babies. Planned Parenthood as an institution is the main culprit for aborting more children from the Afro-American community than any other. Any Black person should take that into consideration when deciding to vote for Hillary Clinton.

As for sex education, this was some snarky notion that came in the back door thanks to planned parenthood with the premise if kids knew how to prevent unwanted pregnancies, they would lessen. Actually, the opposite happened. The emphasis in education shifted from the attic to the basement.
 
Negro? When did this thread start? 1950?

Edit: granted you may have used it in context.
 
What’s the current rate of unwanted pregnancies, and compared to years past?
