A group of mothers wait with their babies for appointments at a government clinic in San Juan de Lurigancho, a shantytown on the outskirts of Lima, Peru, June 5, 2003. Women's advocates say Health Minister Fernando Carbone and Prime Minister Luis Solari are pushing their conservative Roman Catholic philosophy by promoting motherhood and cutting off free contraceptives and birth-control information to the poor. The government denies the accusations and points to its efforts to make pregnancy safer. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/Martin Mejia)
