We CAN IMPROVE Population Control - Rio Summit Quiet Goal

The elephant in the room at Rio summit - CNN.com 

Please support family planning, funding, and women's health services centers. In the developing world particularly.

"Experts estimate that more than 215 million women around the world want to delay or space childbirth but are not using modern contraception. In fact, meeting this need would cost $3.6 billion per year, a small amount when you consider the enormous benefits.

Providing modern contraception also has the potential to stem population growth and relieve human pressure on the environment and natural resources. We urge governments and global agencies at Rio to make this a priority."
