RE: Helping others instead of ourselves

I agree with Ms. Pecina's article. I find it ironic that Bush is so concerned about the women's health issues in Africa, but is doing nothing for the women in the State that helped propelled him to Presidency. Governor Perry has the same problem. His budget cuts to the family planning clinics are depriving women of cancer screening. Also, by preventing family planning, women will have larger families, making it more difficult to climb out of poverty. Perhaps local and national politicians should protect their constituents before other countries.
