"A worldwide shortage of contraceptive supplies is setting back efforts to bring reproductive health to women in many developing countries--a crisis highlighted by the Countdown 2015 conference of non government agencies, held in London last week [Sept. 2004] to review progress in meeting the population goals agreed by 179 nations in Cairo ten years ago." (PEOPLE & THE PLANET) This article discusses the impact of contraceptive shortages on poor women in Africa, noting "the risks to women are great, because lack of contraception is synonymous with unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions."
