This is going to be one amazingly ‘signature’ Conservative plan. No abortion – deep sigh but okay. But to not even include access to contraception as part of our super-duper G8 ground-breaking plan to improve maternal and infant health? I’m having a hard time imagining what will be in this plan.

Guaranteed access to:
Clean water? Not sure how they would do this…
Affordable medication? Nope, this would threaten pharmaceutical monopolies.
Nutritious food? Nope, this would interfere with free-market agribusiness.
Education? Nope, then women might learn about family planning and their rights.

Or maybe they’ll just make sure that every newborn gets a Tory-blue swaddling blanket and a booklet on how to keep their legs crossed in the future.

   I believe this site will be translated into hundreds of third world dialects and pictograms, so that all women can fulfill their earthly purpose as seen by Pope Harper and merry band of breedbots.

   That certainly presents the other side of the issue – while we are discussing maternal health and contraception for women all over the world, it is important to remember that there are women desperately trying to become pregnant.
