Geyer opinion on birth control ridiculous

Georgie Anne Geyer's assertion that the Catholic Church's opposition to birth control is the reason for overpopulation which is resulting in the massive flood of refugees and immigrants is ridiculous.

Rather than a population explosion, the world is experiencing a population implosion. According to the UN Population Division statistics, by 2030, 97 countries will be suffering from fertility that's below replacement level, or fewer than two children per woman. The social and ecomonic problems this will cause are unprecendented and dire. Low birthrates and "graying" populations are looming problems globally, with China providing the worst-case senario.

I think these facts do not matter though to radical feminists like Ms. Geyer who try to advance their pro-abortion agenda at any cost. Incidentally, the "pill" is a steriod, stronger than what is banned in professional sports. That is part of the real war on women.
