This article is talking about the fact that they are making family planning more open to the women in Uganda. This a a big deal, because they have large families, and also loose many women in child birth. This is a problem because they don't want that many people because of the population troubles, and the inability to feed the population they have now. To fix this, and give the women a chance they are making contraceptives easier for the women to get, and easier to come by. One problem is when the women are having the kids, they are beat during child birth to keep them from screaming, and to help them alleviate the pain. One of the problems of this place is they harbor malnutrition, malaria, and AIDS, and they have lots of cases of it. The hospitals are also integrating family planning, and working to teach the people how to not have as many babies. This is helpful, because it teaches them how to be able to keep all of the children they have, and reduce they amount they have as well.
I feel that this is a very important deal, because this is something that can save many lives. By lowering the birth rate, they are essentially lowering the death rate due to the amount that die as children, die in childbirth, and also die from having an abortion. Many more people need to be taught and be schooled, and they really need to be well educated. The more education they have, the less likely they will be to have as many children. Also as more people are educated they will encourage others to become educated as well due to the fact that it has helped them so much. If by lowering the amount of births we can save thousands of lives, I say we stand behind them and support them in all they do. We should help them educate,and deliver this message to these women and families. Also, the women will be more likely to educate their children as well when they don't want them to end up the way they did.
