Patrick Rogers:
As you can see in the chart above or in the data below, there is a strong
correlation between infant mortality and the amount of medical care available
to a given population. With the exception
of Brazil, the majority of the 6 cited nations show a direct response to the number
of physicians in a given area and the likelihood of a successful birth. This means that the original hypothesis, that
the catholic prohibition against birth control and that religions prevalence in
a region would affect birth survival rates, is invalid.
