00:00My question is regarding abortion. So, there are basically two schools of thoughts regarding
00:04abortion. The first one is it's the woman's body. She's the one who would decide. The second thought
00:09is that you can't take away someone's life like on your own. Who are you to decide whether this
00:14particular life should be taken away or not? The issue of abortion is not significant. What's much
00:19more significant is how we are educating our girls. Educate the girls well and they'll know
00:24whether or not to abort. But we don't talk of the education of girls. We keep talking of thousand
00:30other things. Should girls wear long or short? Should single motherhood be encouraged? And
00:38nobody seems to understand that the lady can decide just as any human being can decide,
00:45provided you have empowered her enough to decide. And the empowerment that I'm talking of is
00:51spiritual.
