Well the amount of money that would otherwise be spent to feed, clothe, and house extra kids has to be a lot...
I agree. but how does that work with taxpayer money? In the US the taxpayer does not pay to feed, clothe and shelter my children. I pay for those things. So why should I pay for someone else's contraception that will save them these expenses? If they are going to save tens of thousands of dollars in responsibility then they can pay for contraception and abortions themselves.

I get that some people cannot afford contraception and these children would need government assistance. We should give these people help. But people that can afford contraception and abortions should pay for it themselves.

There's a reason why things are so bad in Africa. They worship pagan gods among other things...

Colonizers
Arabic slave trade
British slave trade.
Conquering of land, removing all precious minerals and gems
Slaughtering of animals
Slaughtering of people
Begin in the 7th century and lasting until the 20th century depression and oppression. Anywhere things such as those happen and as long as it happened the results would be the same as what's seen in Africa today. They never had a chance and now they have to start from lower than low.

Yes, but all of that was done by people who believe in the right god... so it must've been a good thing.

Must be those darn pagan gods to blame...

Are you under the impression every country on the Continent of Africa has children in this condition?

No, most are Muslim or Christian. Only a few areas have people following traditional religions.
