Naomi; //Are you really saying that births to unmarried mothers are responsible for the increasing population?// I did not say 'unmarried mothers', I said 'teenage unmarried mothers'. Your posts seem to be increasingly confused, of course it makes a difference, these young teenage girls simply wouldn't have become pregnant in earlier days. and not now in other countries of Europe even.
When I visit the UK it seems to have become the norm that so many teenage girls are pushing prams in the high streets. I don't see that here in Germany and next week I shall be heading off to Austria, Croatia, Italy and Switzerland and I won't see those numbers in any of those places either.
You seem to avoided my main contention though, that birdie's assertion, that the increasing world population is somehow because of religion, are you in agreement with him?
