The second blog I would like to talk about is about the article, “Cursed by God” by Agnes R. Howard and Nicholas D. Kristof. I could not imagine being“cursed” women. I think that it is awful that there is not enough medical supplies and care to help women in Africa deliver babies safely without the mother’s or child’s health. In the article it talks about these women suffering from tears in their vagina they received from giving birth and without proper medical care these rips can cause extreme pain and infection. I think that it is ridiculous that these women are expected to continue on with life with such pain and not only must they endure it, but they also have to deal with being a social outcast. These women have no one to turn too. Very few people are willing to lend a hand to help these women with their daily tasks. So in the end these women view themselves as being “cursed” by god.
