Awareness is good, BUT ACTION IS BETTER


More than a piece of news, this is how I feel about a current issue that most Chileans are concerned about these days. The fact that giving out the "Day After" pill in the public system had been rejected. I just wonder, what`s wrong with these decision-makers`minds? No one should be able to take over us in the decision of giving birth or not. How is it possible than a reduced group of people, MEN MOSTLY, had decided this in order not to have more unexpected births?

This pill will be for sale. Unfortunatelly, only a group of people; which is not representative of the majority of the chileans, will be able to afford it. So what is it gonna happen with low income people who won`t have the money to buy this contraceptive method?...because it`s just like all the rest; faster and more efficient, but no more than that.

Why don`t politicians and authorities worry about how bad the public health system works? It`s unconceivable that people were assisted in the hallways because there`s not room enough, and also that a woman had had to give birth in a hospital`s toilet because she was told to wait for her turn.

Let`s reflect... I`m really ashamed of the these people and the decision they`ve made.
