We can't end poverty if we fail to save the lives of our world's mothers.

We're not going to protect the Earth the way we need to protect it if we don't stop making so many babies.

Africa needs more funding to continue to fight all of those diseases. We are losing more than 1.3 million young children under the age of five every year because of malaria. We've already lost 25 million people to the pandemic of HIV-AIDS. More people are dying now from typhoid fever. Diabetes is on the rise.

We cannot do everything in Africa, but doing nothing is not an option.

We want every human being in the womb to be safe, not have these babies be killed to solve some dilemma.

I believe the only way we'll be able to solve infant mortality - and other huge social problems - is by designing solutions for those with the greatest intent to carry it out.

Generosity has built America. When we fail to invest in children, we have to pay the cost.

Clean water and power is our right as humans on this earth, and for too long, our governments in Africa have failed to provide these things.

What I find problematic is the suggestion that when, say, Madonna adopts an African child, she is saving Africa. It's not that simple. You have to do more than go there and adopt a child or show us pictures of children with flies in their eyes. That simplifies Africa.

Billions of dollars are thrown at African countries.
