Iran aims to ban vasectomies and cut access to contraceptives to boost births

[Sally]

I don't know why Iran can't just bring in Shia refugees from the other Muslim countries, just like others are allowing Syrian refugees settle in their countries. If the Iranian women don't want to have a bunch of babies, they shouldn't be forced to and men shouldn't be told they can't have a vasectomy. That should be the choice of the man.

Iran is seeking to reverse progressive laws on family planning by outlawing voluntary sterilisation and restricting access to contraceptives, in a move human rights groups say would set Iranian women back decades and reduce them to “baby-making machines”.

The Iranian parliament is considering two separate bills aimed at boosting the population. But Amnesty International warned in a report published on Wednesday that the proposals are misguided and, if approved, would “entrench discriminatory practices” and expose women to health risks.

Iran has pursued an effective birth control programme for over two decades. It included subsidised vasectomies, free condoms and affordable contraceptives, as well as countrywide education on sexual health and family planning.

Well damn, they should come to America and run for office for the GOP!

They are already dealing with over population and unemployment

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Women sure have a lot of pull over there. You know, other than the muslim thing.

The birthrate is declining. Iran is a dying country, Russia is is even worse. I'm sure if they get rid of the mullahs the birthrate will pick up

they aren't over populated where do you get that idea?

 

[Jroc]

PressTV-Iran population decline alarms observers

 

[Penelope]

1. An ex Iranian who is anti Iran who makes his living off of being anti Iran
2. The RCC is also anti birth control and a lot of Protestant churches are as well.
3 We believe Amnesty International claims about Iran, woman being baby making machines
but not when they talk about the plight of the Palestinians.

4. Is birth control allowed in Saudi Arabia?

80+ million people
17%> women employed
1.3% population growth
67% urban population
3.4% immigration rate (mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan)
13% unemployment (24% youth unemployment)
The average income it around $12,000
economic growth in -1.7%
50% of the population are under the countries poverty line.
73% contraceptive use

Iran might want a population of 150+ million but it cannot sustain a population that high

Not sure where those figures come from, but we need to quit sanctioning them, and more population will create more jobs.
