  • It is sad how poor maternal care is. Sometimes we often take for granted how risky giving birth is. We should take actions to promote more care for women.

  • @Evilheart123456789 Africa is NOT a country.

  • there a lot of medical college n university in india.. but after they got their paper..they just go to serve other country... they hate their country currency... poor india...

  • does anybody know what we can do to help out? is there an organization we can send money to?

  • it's difficult being a woman especially in developing countries like africa n india!

    women are not babies making machines...

    i m against giving birth!humans shld just extinct.

  • india is really a very dirty place. i went there and it was disgusting. people pissing and taking sh*t everywhere. unhygenic food. corrupt police, widespread poverty, corrupt administration and judiciary, and worst of all their hindu religion. it says that sudras and outcasts and ritually dirty and must be not be touched by these upper class people. its worse than apartheid. it was so sad to see such nonsence enshirined as hindu religion. i was horrified and saddened and outraged at lies.

  • Off course having babes is their right, but bringing human beings to life requires responsibilities, if you can not afford to have a child then use common sense and protect yourself, because u can not expect others to look after your own child necessities.

  • and birth control wont work. they want babies, its their right.
