Abortion is child mortality.

I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.

We've enshrined the purity, sanctity, value, and importance of bringing children into the world, yet we don't discuss death. There used to be an enshrined period where mourning was a necessary part of going through the process of grieving; death wasn't considered morbid or antisocial. But that's totally gone.

Mortality is very brief but immeasurably important.

I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.

I was fascinated by mortality. Most people are, even if they don't admit it.

It's not morbid to talk about death. Most people don't worry about death, they worry about a bad death.

We tend to talk about death as if it is losing a battle, but that assumes living is winning and dying is not.

You are not just about death and disease.
