The fact is Henry Egan, Canada is a member of the UN and as such has a funding commitment towards the UN Millennium goals, among which is the commitment to improve maternal health.  As a tax-payer, I support Canada in its international obligations because we are all part of the same community. I specifically support this contribution because it will not only give women choices, but will support their overall maternal health outcomes. No woman or child should die because they don't have access to adequate health services.
