***** Anti-Abortion Policies Take Heavy Toll in Africa Run Date: 11/02/03 By Nicole Itano WeNews correspondent

. . . According to a report released earlier this month by the World Health Organization, the United Nations Population Fund and UNICEF, women in Africa have the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, with women having a staggering 1-in-16 lifetime chance of dying while pregnant

---yeah, but yoshie, don't you get it, all those african women having abortions are baby killers anyway? i mean they are EVIL to have abortions and murderers who should be jailed for life if they don't die. I also strongly support condom distribution, needle exchanges for free, public health insurance for all, and the right to an abortion. But those women who have abortions as contraception and who have late term abortions are evil and the only way to establish legitimacy for the pro-choice position is to fall on our knees and express shame about any women having an abortion....although of course we support the right to the women having an evil abortion....as long as they feel huge amounts of guilt for doing so...
