“Imagine, Mr. B., going to a spiritual folk healer for some prayers, herbs, roots, and tonics to enhance male potency and help Mrs. B. get pregnant.”

“What can you expect. Those people are all the same. They’ve been in this country for years but still rely on folk remedies to get pregnant or to prevent pregnancy.”

“Yes, and what about those others we saw last week with genital infibulation. What right do they have to come here and expect us to fix problems that could have been avoided?”
