A poignant piece about the risks of having children in Uganda by the founder of Save the Mothers, one Jean Chamberlain. Then there’s this in the Hill Times (subscriber access only) suggesting the Liberals will push Harper to include abortion in his maternal health mandate for the G8.
At bottom, I think Canadians know that maternal health involves what Chamberlain describes and that including abortion is deeply political and actually irrelevant when women are bleeding to death after delivery.
More soon, by the way, on my discussions with World Vision vis-a-vis maternal health and abortion… Stay tuned.

Another Canadian doctor that is helping African women survivr childbirth, is Dr. Robert Walley (NL) with his NGO ‘Matercare’ http://www.matercare.org/
We should be encouraging doctors who so obviously have a vocation to heal, rather than just a ‘job’.
