This reminds me of the time, the Catholic Church decided to ban/boycott Carnivale in Goa. In addition to circulating various untruths, this bald-faced lie was part of the propaganda machine. That there was a substantial increase in abortions following Carnivale. For this to transpire, the following would have to occur:
a) all the unwed girls in Goa would miraculously synchronise their ovulation with Carnival. b) all the young men would forget that such a thing as a condom exists. c) all courting couples who have otherwise shown restraint will throw caution to the winds and have unprotected sex only because it is carnivale. And lastly for this claim to be substantiated in the first place, someone would have to go around all the abortion clinics and make a survey, demanding to know whether they had sex at the Panjim Club Nationale Dance or the Margao Black and Red Dance. So much for wanting to ban fiction!
