U.S. Infant Mortality
I mean no disrespect for the problems of those parents who have suffered, but I have another matter of concern.
Would that you could find it in your hearts to write:
“Too many babies are being conceived in the United States and the Southland.”
Because of the exponential growth of world population, each new baby is destined to compete with roughly twice as many persons for food, clothing, housing, air, and water than its parents. The more that are born, the more will die of hunger, disease and social instability.
