so your argument is the numbers are not reliable?
really?
hmm, seems that
the cia factbook should be reliable, and it says we're not doing so well in this regard.
or are you going to "kill the messenger"?

I'm also skeptical that availability of health care is the issue here as much as maturity to utilize it. For example it appears that free pre-natal care is pretty readily available.

it's available if 1) the mother is aware, 2) the mother is educated on why they need it, and 3) the mother can access the help (ie can get there to receive it).
it's about the delivery of healthcare. the providors exist, there's no debate about that.
