In Pakistan theer is an inexpensive drug that is primarily used to treat postpartum hemorrhages, to prevent ulcers, and to induce labor. It is also used as an alternative to illegal or expensive surgical abortions. There is a hotline that is being offered in hopes of lowering the high rates of pregnancy related deaths. I think that this is a good thing to have in order for women to talk about their situations but really how much can a hotline do. They need to take more action in Pakistan to inform women of the dangers of illegal abortions or the risks of any heath related problems with pregnacy. This is a good start to that, but it is sad to to see that so much is going on so more needs to be done. I am pro-choice, but most definatly everything should be done the healthy way.
