Child mortality rates in Iraq

It was reported recently that 1 in 8 children in Iraq die before age 5 and has appeared at the very bottom of the list of countries with bad child mortality rates. It is hard not to be cynical about churches (say like the Southern Baptist Convention) that came out in favor of the Iraq war and have a strong anti-abortion lobby. I think that everyone would like to see abortion rates lowered, but one cannot take the moral high ground and impose laws that say all abortions are illegal when at the same time you do things which indirectly kill millions of children.
