Getting out of a mess
What got us into this population mess to begin with was the contraceptive tampering with the natural, intrinsic bond between sex for intimacy and pleasure and sex for reproduction in a lifelong heterosexual marriage. Once we have taken what God built into creation and decided to do things our own way, we have to figure out how to deal with ...
