The Baby’s Coming. But the Hospital Is 100 Miles Away.
The article describes the distress in the southeastern corner of Missouri,but could really be Anywhere...Specifically the article concerns people whose nearest obstetric facility is 50-100 miles away and they are about to give birth. Two heart-rending snippets from the article Quote:
Quote:
Even that drive,a 100-mile round trip,involves say,five gallons or about $15.00. Bringing a child into the world knowing that the child will in 90% of the cases be deprived of proper security,nutrition,education and opportunity is WRONG. How can it be argued otherwise? This is an issue about responsible decision-making as well as about health care. |

It is a dilemma. I believe poor folks have the highest birth rates.
