These children live in poverty because of new mothers can’t support the cost after got baby.

The prime Right to financial support from the government as I create and birth a new human.

The Right to be paid for the use of my womb and breasts.
2
The Right to optimum obstetrical health care for myself, and post birth health care for myself and my child.

The Right to choose to raise my child myself.
4
The Right to agree that someone else parent my child.
5
The Right to live in warm, dry, safe, comfortable places as I birth, parent and educate my child.
