I offer abstaining from sex.

That's unresponsive. The bishops in Africa are struggling with this, like no other clergymen on earth.

Admonishing couples to avoid sex when you know that the man has no intention of doing so is simply avoiding the issue.

Since the woman will be exposed to death, which will deprive her of life and her four other children of a mother, it seems that the Church ought to be able to offer a little more guidance than "well, unite your sufferings to those of Christ."

You act as if Christ's teachings are empty words. You seem to think the "real" answer is hardcore secular propaganda.
