Slice o' Life
In Iraq that is. Especially if you're pregnant:
Going to the hospital can be a dangerous trip, so many simply skip prenatal visits. Then, pregnant women have to worry that the fateful moment could come during curfew hours, so many are asking for Caesarean sections. If there is a problem with the pregnancy or if a woman decides to go through with natural childbirth, there might not be a qualified doctor at the hospital. Doctors, especially women, have become a favorite target of kidnappers, which has made their presence scarce at some hospitals.
Freedom on the march.
