What are you talking about?

That's a quote from Good Counsel. They had that poor woman go against the advice of doctors, nurses and social workers, so she could burn up goodness knows how many ICU hours, and watch her baby die for a longer period of time. That's the organization you posted here. They are proud of that. Put the sweet little story up on their web site.

I'm sure there are some private agencies that have no strings attached health care, but we can't (imo) rely on such a patchwork. It is by relying on that patchwork that we are in the mess we are in now- you saw the numbers on infant mortality. According to most aid agencies they are overwhelmed. For the charities I am familiar with, resources are strained. Feel free to try to find articles that show that resources are readily available for the poor women and children who need them. I'd love to see those articles.
