I want every child that's born in the world to be planned and wanted. - Joycelyn Elders

""A core belief of mine is the importance of honesty. When we stop talking openly about sex, we stop communicating important information to our young people. Then you have worse reproductive health, more teenage pregnancy, higher rates of HIV/AID".

We've tried ignorance for a thousand years. It's time we try education.

I believe that the reason we do not see health care as a human right is that our country is run by a class of white men who don't understand the problems of *needing* and *not having*. Perhaps they've never been there themselves. Nobody wants to be poor. We all want food, clothing, and shelter. And health care, too.
