A tiny, but huge crisis

Tennessee has one of the country's worst infant mortality rates. It's due to a combination of lack of education, low income, lack of access to resources, and low overall health. I don't think you can read this article without tearing up a little.
Check out this Tennessean article on Tennessee's infant mortality rate.


Also, a response from Feministe about the failure of sex education and its impact on the infant mortality rate.


Thanks to Medical Students for Choice for posting this and bringing it to our attention!
