Religious right to cyclone victims: "Have more babies!"

Disgusting.

The decision by the UNFPA to send thousands of condoms and contraceptives to Burma in the midst of one of the region’s worst cyclone and food crisis, however, was immediately criticized by pro-family groups.

Linda Klepacki, sexual health analyst for Focus on the Family Action, was incredulous as to how the group could reason that condoms and contraceptives were more valuable than food.

“Only a world nearly devoid of God could give supplies denying life before necessities to sustain life,” she said in a statement.
There's nothing pro-family about wishing unwanted pregnancies and STDs on desperately impoverished people whose homes have been demolished by a natural disaster.

Senseless? Sure. Heartless? Absolutely. Monstrous, repugnant and immoral? You betcha.

Pro-family? No fucking way.
