Policy Making to Reduce Maternal Mortality

Joshua Craddock, Personhood USA’s representative at the United Nations, has posted at Personhood Education a pamphlet entitled Policy Making to Reduce Maternal Mortality. The articles contained in the pamphlet are:

• Education, Not Abortion
• Ireland, without abortion, leads the world in maternal health
• The Importance Of Addressing Predictable Causes Of High Risk Pregnancies

In Education, Not Abortion, Dr. Koch explains that “Definitively, the legal status of abortion is unrelated to overall maternal health.” The education level of women has the greatest effect on maternal health.

In Ireland without abortion, Dr. De Faoite explains that life-saving “interventions are permissible in Ireland today under current Irish law, which bans abortion”. Ireland has “one of the lowest rates of maternal mortality in the entire world”.

In Addressing Predictable Causes, Dr. Chireau says that “managing high-risk pregnancy does not involve a conflict between the needs of the mother and the child, but rather comes down to understanding the particular circumstances of that pregnancy and dealing with it in a scientific and rational way.”

Please read the pamphlet.
