Definitely more for the overpopulation rates.  Catholic teaching in
Third World countries with regards to birth control simply hinders
efforts to control soaring birth rates.

Effective programs meant to promote the use of birth control pills,
IUDs, as well as condoms, should be definitely encouraged to negate the
Catholic church's message that those methods constitute "sin".
