Brazil Ignores Pope, Subsidizes Birth Control - World - CBN News

CBN News: "Less than a month after Pope Benedict XVI condemned state-funded birth control measures during a visit to Brazil, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva unveiled a new program to provide cheap birth control pills at 10,000 drug stores.

Silva's program aims to sharply decrease unwanted pregnancies in Latin America's largest nation, he said. Silva says the plan gives poor Brazilians the same right to plan children as the wealthy."
