It's really risky for a mother to undergo delivery of her kid. Like what any other mother said, they have a 50-50 ratio of their lives whenever they give birth to their children. Hopefully, the government provide enough budget for this kind of need of mothers.Steven from school grants
Is great to see that this issue is finally being taken seriously & that action is happening to raise awareness. For Sierra Leone the children really are the future & we should be working together to ensure the health of their mothers at all stages of their pregnancy & childbirth. This should be done in a manner that upholds human rights including free health care which in some areas is occuring.
This is something which gives me sleepless nights each time I look at vulnerable babies. We are living in the 21st century and yet children are still dying for lack of proper care. tTis should stop.

I posted this on the "We are the Romany people" site on facebook. I get a reply from a non-Romany suggesting it served these people right for being theives. This is an example of the sort of prejustice is what we're up against. What was more alarming were some of the comments on the Amnesty facebook page.
Just a couple of comments that I found at the end of the article:
I am so pleased that I am not the only person who found this article offensive and very, very poorly written.

and
There is NO link between these two stories. Your tenuous connection and poorly thought out argument only serves to give me a migraine.

I totally agree with you comment on this piece
The situation in Iran is quite worrying. I agree with Alex. Let's take action and help these incredibly brave people!
Nowadays, married couples not only rely both on love. but of course, their finances. They vreally wan to be secured on money mattersWhere does the line get drawn between love and money? Or is there one? If a rich person is getting pursued by a person who isn't rich – that's one thing, but if couples are serious about each other, there has to be financial communication. If one person has their act together, and is paying off debt, and the other is constantly running for payday loans, this will create problems. As a couple, you have to hash these things out – work out financial goals, meet or exceed them, and have everything planned to the tee. That way, you can have the security of love and money that makes for a great relationship.
How anybody can to this to another human being is beyond me. My love and support always. A xx
