Pregnancy Should Be About Life — Not Death‏

In Canada, when a woman finds out she’s pregnant, death is the last thing on her mind. She knows that doctors and hospitals with resources to help with any kind of complication are just a phone call away. But for more than 500,000 women every year, pregnancy becomes a death sentence. For most of these women, there is absolutely no medical reason they should die. This is the 21st century. We have the technologies to handle emergencies during pregnancy and childbirth. The fact that so many women lack access to these treatments is an unconscionable travesty. We’re not waiting for a medical breakthrough. It is possible to prevent nearly every maternal death today — as long as women can get the care they need. Help raise awareness about the maternal mortality epidemic.
