Taking Exception. Reduced mortality leads to population growth: an inconvenient truth

Long over due to lay out the importance of developing nation's improving both family planning and child survival, and donor's (USAID in particular) responsibilities to assist.

This should greatly contribute to the political/religious debate over the value of family planning.

Using the example of Nigeria, the national statistics quoted are correct. However, it could be mentioned that family planning, and child survival are much more successful in the more prosperous south than in the poverty stricken north of Nigeria. There are lessons learned within the country as well.
