"Fifty thousand of those women will give birth in three months"
and we dems have to get them abortions before it's too late!
Seriously, I find it hard to believe that UNFPA is the only organization that can aid these pregnant women. What about the Red Cross? What about the various religious groups?
IMO if the reports about the horrors of the tsunami
victims are even 50% true (and I don't doubt they are
true), these 150,000 pregnant women have been through so much already that giving birth without the midwifery of UNFPA would seem an easy ordeal. Totally natural. Sure,
some of them may die; but stats show that a percentage
of ALL women undergoing childbirth, even given the
facilities of modern hospitals, die. Some conditions
cannot be controlled no matter how adept the caretakers
are.
