If you reread my post a bit more carefully than you did first time,you will find the answer.I said Kurdish people are religious.Do you think MHP and CHP are good addresses for religious votes to go? No I don´t.  I was only expanding your statement further for other readers.Why would I put the religious votes aside when the main struggle now is between religious Kurds and PKK? I think you are confusing things.

This problem is typical in poor families around the world. Probably because of the lack of money for contraception and no sexual education. It´s a vicious circle

 Do you really think this is the reason?  I know here in the states you can go to any plan parenthood facility and get contraceptives no matter what income level you are at.   In my opinion they keep having babies because the bigger their welfare checks & tax credits will be.   I understand that the poorest countries don´t have the resources, but how can mothers sit there and have kid after kid knowing they don´t have the ability to feed or provide for them.  That alone would make me keep my legs closed.

See - that´s the difference: in the USA you get benefits for children so people who have many of them might naively see it as a way of getting additional income. What else other than lack of money and sexual education can account for numerous children in poor countries? Besides, living in a society where a man can have more than one spouse usually means that women can´t just close their legs if >>the master<< feels horny. And do you think they really care about the welfare of their children in such families? I bet for them it´s just the way it always has been. And I´m sure their children will continue this tradition.

What else? Uhm...for example, lack of pension funds or other kinds of elderly care. In that case the only care you get is the care from your children when they grow up. More children, the bigger the chance is that you´ll be taken well care of when you´re older.

I would like to add that no amount of money will guarantee good care.

Below are a couple of cases of a lot of money, but little love.....

 This is why I am extra nice to my kids!
