Week 6 Quesitons

1. In 'The Pregnancy Death Road', it says that maternity is not a disease, it is the means by which the human race is propagated and that society has more of an obligation to prevent maternal deaths than deaths by disease. As per usual, I have no question for this but rather think it would be interesting to discuss.

2. In 'The Pregnancy Death Road', is says that on a very personal level, the woman's ability to plan how many children she wants and when she wants them is central to the quality of her life. How can women be given more of a say in family planning in male dominated societies?

3. In 'The Pregnancy Death Road', it says, the conditions are clear: abortion must be provided by professionally trained personnel in a clean and safe environment, it must be legal, it must be inexpensive, it must be widely provided, and it must be socially supported. How is this plausible if in the rural areas where this is most needed, it is often true that the only foreign aid to be found are missionaries?

***More question may be coming on other readings, I have notes on them I just didn't mark which notes go with which reading, so if I have time I will post a wider variety of questions.
