"Neither left nor right has focused adequately on maternal health"
- Nicholas D. Kristof
About this Quote
This quote by Nicholas D. Kristof is referring to the absence of attention offered to maternal health by both the left and best sides of the political spectrum. He is suggesting that neither side has done enough to address the issue of maternal health, which is a major global health issue. Maternal health consists of problems such as access to quality health care, nutrition, and education for pregnant women and moms. It also consists of access to safe and legal abortion services, which is a problem that is frequently ignored by both sides of the political spectrum. Kristof is calling for both sides to focus more attention on maternal health, as it is an issue that impacts millions of ladies all over the world. He thinks that by doing so, we can help to lower maternal mortality and morbidity, and enhance the general health of mothers and their households.
"Did you know that nearly one in three children live apart from their biological dads? Those kids are two to three times more likely to grow up in poverty, to suffer in school, and to have health and behavioral problems"
