        <description><![CDATA[Hi t0mmyt,You're partly right, but only partly. As you can see, contraception will only reduce maternal mortality by about 30%. So, perhaps the other 70% of maternal mortality is due to modern medical care.  But as laid out above, contraception can prevent the pregnancies in very young girls that often result in the deaths of their undeveloped bodies, the unwanted pregnancies that cause the mother's to seek unsafe abortions and the pregnancies that are too closely spaced. It's not the solution for the other 70%, but it seems the Gates Foundation has decided that we should try to solve the 30% we can prevent.Laura]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[@ t0mmyt woman die in developed nations every day due to unsafe abortions that could have been prevented in the first place by proper education and contraception availability. You are very naive to think this only happens in the third world and if the rethugs have their way america will become a 3rd world nation too where only the elite have access to education and contraception.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This just in - study done on how to reduce 33% of all car crashes - take the bus.Why are these women dying here and not in developed nations?  Well it must be because developed nations use contraception, right?  It certainly couldn't be the technology availbe in developed nations in their hospital facilities or medical facilities.If I were Bill &amp; Melinda Gates, I'd be furious!  Unless of course it fits their political agenda...]]></description>
