Tanzanian President Magufuli plans to abolish Birth Control Methods

We reported recently of a new law abolishing make up or hair extensions in the Tanzanian Parliament. This new development is even more shocking.

The President is considering abolishing use of condoms and birth control pills in Tanzania.

President Magafuli has urged Tanzanian women to give up on birth control methods because he thinks his country needs more people. “You have cattle and you are big farmers, you can feed your children. Why then resort to birth control? This is my opinion. I see no reason to control births in Tanzania. I have travelled to Europe and elsewhere and have seen the harmful effects of birth control. Some countries are now facing declining population growth. They are short of manpower,” said President Magafuli.

Tanzanian population is currently at 59.4 Million and this has raised concerns that if birth control methods are abolished, it would lead to overpopulation.
