You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health. And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion.
For most of recorded history, the treatment of women's sexual and reproductive health was the almost exclusive bailiwick of women, including the juries of matrons who performed the genital examinations required in the evaluation of rape and annulment cases and who were among the rare women considered qualified to give testimony in medieval courts of law.
I have personally been affected by women's reproductive health issues, and I will continue to support that cause and spread awareness about it.
