Pregnancy Spacing Saves Lives (Pakistan)

Pakistan has the 8th highest rate of maternal mortality in the world. This video, developed by our Pakistan country team, highlights how better spacing of pregnancies can save lives and decrease poverty in Pakistan and throughout the developing world.

Pathfinder International began working in Pakistan in 1950 with funding from USAID. Now, with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Pathfinder has launched its first project in Pakistan since 2005. This new effort focuses on integrating family planning into maternal, neonatal, and child health services.

In my opinion if they would do family planing they would not change their status. Abortion could happened to anyone. The main problem is there is take care after being pregnant, lack of information about pregnancy. The system does not allows these women to take care properly after being pregnant.

The guy (father?) in the video is correct. "Family planning" is absurd. It's not even an honest term, as it should mean, planning for family growth.

Use a little logic. The rampant contraceptive pushers say, don't have children when too young, don't have children when too old, don't have children too close together, don't have too many children? What's the theme here? Seems to me, that the "family planning" pushers don't like children!

Let babies come, life flow, naturally, even "with no gap."
