00:00My question is regarding abortion.
00:07It's the woman's body, so she's the one who would decide.
00:11The issue of abortion is not significant.
00:13What's much more significant is how we are educating our girls.
00:17Educate the girls well, and they'll know whether or not to abort.
00:20But we don't talk of the education of girls.
00:23We keep talking of a thousand other things.
00:25Should girls wear long or short?
00:27Should single motherhood be encouraged?
00:31The lady can decide, just as any human being can decide.
00:35Provided you have empowered her enough to decide.
00:39And the empowerment that I'm talking of is spiritual.
00:42I'm not talking of the empowerment
00:45that gives her the legal right to terminate the pregnancy.
00:50No, not that kind of empowerment.
00:52I'm talking of self-awareness.
00:55Who am I?
00:56Why do I need to bring a child to life?
