CONTRACEPTION FOR WOMEN THE WORLD OVER IS CRUCIAL. Poor women can feed the children they have if they have fewer children. Imagine the insanity of the Bush presidency curtailing contraception to poor countries because it's the same as abortion.

poverty in the past year, according to the U.N. World Food Program (WFP). But while millions of men and children are also hungrier, women
are often the hungriest and skinniest. Aid workers say malnutrition
among women is emerging as a hidden consequence of the food crisis.
