lastlid is absolutely right.
Here is the World Bank table of live births per 1,000 citizens:

It repays study.
Looking at Catholic countries, we find (number of live births per 1,000 for 2010):
Argentina: 17
Austria: 9
Belgium: 12
Brazil: 15
France: 13
Chile: 14
Ireland:17
Italy: 9
Portugal:10
Spain: 11
Philippines: 25
All the other countries in the list are most definitely Catholic, and they all have something similar to the RH Bill on their statute books.
I've already posted statistics which show that the Philippines has a much higher rate of teenage pregnancy and of abortion than the UK has.
Why does the Catholic Church think that its Filipino members ought to be denied the freedom of choice available to Catholics in almost all other countries?
