You must hear the _story_
(http://www.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=uBZWs0JKeAnkR9X5TCJW3w..)   of Nahomie Nercure.

We recently reported on  Nicholas Kristof’s New York Times opinion piece “
_Pregnant  (Again) and Poor_
(http://www.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=_xRpBkua1BTjy0g2hYyZBw..) ” — that featured Nahomie’s heart-breaking story  —
 in the _Women’s  Health Policy Report_
(http://www.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=5ALOJv0PDAHqtAD0kTVA9Q..) .

Nahomie is pregnant, 30, and  lives in Haiti with her nine children in
extreme poverty. Her family  resides in a $6-a-month rental “shack” with no
food, and some of her  children have no clothes.

By United Nations  estimates, Nahomie is one of 200 million women around
the world who  have an unmet need for safe and effective contraception —
which results in as many as 80 million unwanted pregnancies  annually, 19
million abortions and 150,000 maternal deaths.

And, as Kristof points out, U.S. and international efforts  to fight global
poverty can’t succeed until women like Nahomie have  better access to basic
family planning services.

_What  do you think? _
(http://www.nationalpartnership.org/site/R?i=ID8-330aCNqs_gjXq2wlqg..)

Should the United States provide  more contraceptive services in developing
nations to help women like  Nahomie and fight global poverty?
