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.

Women and girls should be able to determine their own future, no matter where they're born.

I'm wholehearted about whatever I do.

If I really believe all lives have equal value, and if I use contraceptives, which I do, and if I'm counselling my son and my two daughters to use them, how am I not serving the women who don't have access to the contraceptives they need?

Poverty disproportionately affects women around the world.

Sanitation issues in the developing world affect women more than they affect men.

Sometimes it's the people you can't help who inspire you the most.
