Synopsis

Birth Control: A Statement Of Christian Doctrine Against The Neo-Malthusians by Halliday Sutherland presents a polemical critique of Malthusian and Neo-Malthusian arguments for artificial birth control. The work argues that overpopulation fears are unfounded, that poverty leads to rising birth rates rather than the reverse, and that civilization's progress depends on continued population growth. Sutherland surveys international data, including the Suez Canal Zone and France, to debunk claims that declining birth rates accompany social progress and that birth control benefits national health. He condemns artificial birth control as immoral, harmful to individuals and society, and contrary to natural and religious laws, while endorsing traditional Christian ethics such as restraint and the natural regulation of marriage. The volume includes analyses of religious influences on birth rates across France, Holland, and the United States, and critiques the modern birth-control movement as anti-Christian, anti-national, and dangerous to civilizational stability.
