For Shame

Here are some people who truly understand the needs of women and families affected by hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.

Because nothing says "I understand" more than depriving needy people of basic medicines.

Because, after days in the sweltering heat without food, water, and basic hygiene, suffering from cramps, heavy bleeding, anemia, weakness, and facing the possibility of an unintended pregnancy [possibly as a result of being raped] are not pressing concerns.
