“Despite the fact that the movement was gaining popularity in a society with a serious poverty crisis, Gandhi was an outspoken critic of artificial birth control. His general attitude was that

‘Persons who use contraceptives will never learn the value of self-restraint. They will not need it. Self-indulgence with contraceptives may prevent the coming of children but will sap the vitality of both men and women, perhaps more of men than of women. It is unmanly to refuse battle with the devil.’

“Gandhi’s birth control of choice” by Janice Formichella on feministsforchoice.com, February 5, 2010:

 "The two activists met in December of 1936 when Sanger traveled to India to speak with Gandhi about birth control, population and the plight of women in India. At that time, Sanger staunchly advocated the global use of artificial contraceptives and, in order to make the acceptance of such contraceptives easier to the Indian populace, sought to make Gandhi an ally.

“Despite the fact that the movement was gaining popularity in a society with a serious poverty crisis, Gandhi was an outspoken critic of artificial birth control. His general attitude was that ‘Persons who use contraceptives will never learn the value of self-restraint. They will not need it. Self-indulgence with contraceptives may prevent the coming of children but will sap the vitality of both men and women, perhaps more of men than of women. It is unmanly to refuse battle with the devil.’”

3. Senator Sotto’s speech:

“In fact, in a study undertaken by Raymond Pearl, a John Hopkins professor and noted authority on this matter, wrote: ‘Those who practice contraception as part of their sex life, by their own admission, resort to criminally induced abortions about three times as often proportionately as do their comparable non-contraceptor contemporaries.’

“Also in a report prepared for the Royal Commission on Population in Great Britain found that the incidence of induced abortion as a percentage of all pregnancies was nine times higher for women using contraceptives than for women not using birth control.”

“-In 1939, Raymond Pearl, a Johns Hopkins professor and noted authority, wrote: ‘Those who practice contraception as part of their sex life, by their own admission, resort to criminally induced abortions about three times as often propotionately as do their comparable non-contraceptor contemporaries.’

“-In Great Britain, in 1949, a report prepared for the Royal Commission on Population found that the incidence of induced abortion as a percentage of all pregnancies was nine times higher for women using contraceptives than for women not using birth control.”

Pero sa panayam sa kanya sa programang Headstart sa ANC kahapon, Agosto 16, iginiit ni Senator Sotto na wala siyang pini- plagiarize na anumang blog.

Sa halip, ang depensa niya, “Ba’t ko naman iko-quote yung blogger? Blogger lang yun. Ang kinu-quote ko, si Natasha Campbell-McBride.”
