C.REPORTS
About 300 women in Barbacoas (pop. about 40,000) are vowing "no more sex"...until the 35 mile road from their small city is better maintained.
A "strike of crossed legs" is underway to motivate their husbands to pressure local authorities.
The road is in such bad condition that more than a dozen patients have died while seeking care at the nearest hospital...in the rainy season about 12 to 14 hours away.
