Supporting an organization, headed by a male 78 year old virgin, that prohibits all forms of contraception including coitus interruptus doesn't come across as woman friendly.
I respect your opinion, but I assure you I do not dislike women. You and I simply just don't see these things the same way.

It would be undesirable to be sure but I wouldn't take it off the table. Overpopulation is a really frightening thing. Combat it other ways first but if it gets bad enough, government oversight would be preferable to letting it spiral out of control.
The Catholic Church by the way is, one of the prominent villains here. Maybe Pope Francis will figure out that opposing birth control and encouraging the flock to mindlessly reproduce is incompatible with his laudable stance that we should take better care of the planet.
Having the opinion that contraception is not moral does not mean we support mindless reproduction, btw. :

If everyone followed the Church teaching to save sex for marriage, there would be a lot less pregnancies. Also, the Church does encourage responsible family planning by fertility monitoring.
You may not agree with either of these things, but saying we advocate for "mindless reproduction" is simply inaccurate.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
