Inhaltsangabe

The book ""Birth Control: A Statement of Christian Doctrine Against the Neo-Malthusians"" by Halliday G. Sutherland is a religious text that presents a Christian perspective on the issue of birth control. The author argues against the Neo-Malthusian movement, which advocates for population control through the use of contraception, and instead promotes a traditional Christian view that emphasizes the importance of procreation and the sanctity of human life. The book explores various theological and moral arguments against birth control, drawing on biblical teachings and the teachings of the Catholic Church. It also examines the social and economic implications of population control policies, and argues that these policies are ultimately harmful to both individuals and society as a whole. Overall, ""Birth Control"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a controversial topic from a Christian perspective.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

My contentions are that poverty is neither solely nor indeed generally related to economic pressure on the soil; that there are many causes of poverty apart altogether from overpopulation; and that in reality overpopulation does not exist in those countries where Malthusians claim to find proofs of social misery due to a high birthrate.
If overpopulation in the economic sense occurred in a closed country, whose inhabitants were either unable or unwilling to send out colonies, it is obvious that general poverty and misery would result. This might happen in small islands, but it is of greater interest to know what does happen.
Section 5. NO EVIDENCE OF OVERPOPULATION
In a closed country, producing all its own necessities of life and incapable of expansion, a high birth-rate would eventually...'
