Yesterday USAID released the 2012 Report to Congress: Health-Related Research and Development Strategy, which is an overview of the Agency's 2011-2015 plan to implement and accelerate health programs to help the lives of women and children.

"Real medical care decreases maternal mortality; abortion does not decrease maternal mortality," Dr. Donna J. Harrison told EWTN News on March 6.

Commission for the Status of Women in New York City.
