No Muslim family
should engage in birth control or family planning, Turkish President
Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday, calling again on pious Muslims to have
more children.
"We will
multiply our descendants. They talk about population planning, birth
control. No Muslim family can have such an approach," he said in
a speech in Istanbul broadcast live on television. "Nobody can
interfere in God's work. The first duty here belongs to mothers,"
he said.
Women's groups and
opposition politicians have criticized Erdogan, a devout Muslim for
telling women how many children to have and dismissing the Western
idea of gender equality. He has previously equated birth control with
treason.
