Re: whose fault is it?

im tryig to contact anyone about the mirena, this is what i found at msnbc dateline.
i woke up one morning to the site of about 20 men deciding whether or not to ban abortion in this country. why in the world would it be up to them? they were old men to what business is it of theirs? we must speak out about what we want and our rights before they are taken away. i read somewhere that all birth control just prevents the embryo from implanting, its so much easier to just stop the sperm and safer.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Two weeks after Olga Reyes danced at her wedding, her bloated and disfigured body was laid to rest in an open coffin — the victim, her husband and some experts say, of Nicaragua’s new no-exceptions ban on abortion.

Reyes, a 22-year-old law student, suffered an ectopic pregnancy. The fetus develops outside the uterus, cannot survive and causes bleeding that endangers the mother. But doctors seemed afraid to treat her because of the anti-abortion law, said husband Agustin Perez. By the time they took action, it was too late.

Nicaragua last year became one of 35 countries that ban all abortions, even to save the life of the mother, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York. The ban has been strictly followed, leaving the country torn between a strong tradition of women’s rights and a growing religious conservatism. Abortion rights groups have stormed Congress in recent weeks demanding change, but President Daniel Ortega, a former leftist revolutionary and a Roman Catholic, has refused to oppose the church-supported ban.
