in some ways, it did. what's the point in helping the poor if you're just going to insist they make more poor? and we're not talking one or two kids per poor mother here. if that were the case it might not be such a big deal. mother teresa worked in a community where mothers had LOTS of kids. not such a big deal for rich families, and even desirable in their culture. VERY big deal for middle-class and poor families. having children's the one major life decision you can make that can permanently make you or break you from a financial point of view.
