It’s absolutely the Catholic Church. The country is incredibly Catholic. They often don’t use any form of birth control nor even tampons as it’s looked down upon. Overpopulated too
Something tells me PRE-teen pregnancies are a bigger problem than whoever’s having sex with kids under-13 not using birth control.
Unless it’s pre-teens having sex with each other. Then sex education, birth control and access to reproductive rights is the issue to solve.
Fuck, I read that wrong. Pre-teen would be 12 or younger right? What the actual fuck?
They’re the same people that oppose sex education and birth control
Almost everywhere is overpopulated.
Have you been to the Philippines though? I met a guy who has 19 siblings
I can’t imagine spending the greater part of my life pregnant and caring for one kid after another for even longer.
Bruh you ever seen this
How… HOW DO YOU BIRTH 69 BABIES?
Numbers in bold and italics are likely to be legendary or inexact, some of them having been recorded before the 19th century.
But 33 though, still…
Anything above 4 already impresses me
I don’t even want to give birth to one baby let alone an entire herd
(btw your reply is what inspired me to look that up - meant it as a “yes and”) :)
Wow that’s wild
I cannot believe an article like this would use the language “girls falling pregnant”. Nobody falls pregnant.
And usually the Telegraph is such a pinnacle of good journalism 🤔
They would never victim blame…
The real question is who is having sex the girls… Boys or adult men…
This fact is glossed over so I am assuming adult men, which is characteristic for insular religious communities.
So we need some rope and get the wood chipper going.
Probably both. From my limited understanding the country is so poor, sex tourism of girls (and probably boys) has become normalized.
“Girls raped pregnant”
“Girls lacking sexual education becomes pregnant”
If the Catholic Church only had 100 000 members, it would be called a dangerous cult, with politicians calling for its ban.
All religions are just pedo cults.
The obsessively pro-life religion that also strongly shames people, while also not really caring for them either unless they contribute to the cause?
