Christy Turlington campaigns for maternal health
Categories: Pregnancy & birth, Health & safety, Environment, Mommy musts, Resources
Former supermodel Christy Turlington is campaigning for maternal health. The mother of two (with husband actor Ed Burns) is attempting to get the U.S. government to provide more resources to women during childbirth.
According to Turlington, a woman dies every minute of complications from childbirth. She believes that women around the world do not have access to the same medical care she had when she gave birth to her children. I would wager she is right. I couldn't believe the amount of care I received during the birth of my son and after in recovery--and I'm just a regular gal! Women the world over deserve the same amount of care, so I am right there behind Christie in her endeavor.
Joining Turlington on her campaign is former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, who is mom to daughter Bluebell Madonna Halliwell. Turlington is ambassador for Care, an organization dedicated to fighting global poverty.

Every Sikh boy has a wound up hank of hair a mile long under a doily. It's a tradition in this sect. What's the big deal? It's hair ...two neat braids are fine. School systems always get their panties in a wad about assinine things like this. They don't care if the teachers are morons and that there is no art or music in school, no second language. But HAIR has 'em coughing up a chalk ball! GEEZ
