I'm Happy We Have Three Healthy Children

Around The World We Have Girls In Primary School At About The Same Rate Now As Boys, But Keeping Them In Quality Secondary Schools Is Where The World Is Lagging. I'm Seeing A Lot Of Countries Look At This Now.

If We're Going To Make Progress On This Issue [of Contraception], We Have To Be Really Clear About What Our Agenda Is. We're Not Talking About Abortion. We're Not Talking About Population Control. What I'm Talking About Is Giving Women The Power To Save Their Lives, To Save Their Children's Lives And To Give Their Families The Best Possible Future.

Childbearing, I Mean, If There's No Place To Go To Deliver Your Baby, Then You're The One That's Delivering In Those Unhealthy Circumstances. Or If You Can't Get Access To Family Planning, Your Chances Of Surviving And Being Able To Bring Your Kids Up If They Come One Right After The Other, That Locks You Into A Cycle Of Poverty.

We Start With An Economic Approach. We Look At What Are The Greatest Causes Of Death In The Developing World, And What Causes The Largest Amount Of Disability, Which Would Prevent You From Getting A Job. A Lot Of Those Deaths Start With Diseases, Diseases We Don't Get In Such A Great Number In The United States.

When We Better Understand The Realities Of These Women's Lives, We Are Able To Design And Deliver Solutions That Are More Useful To Them.
