It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Deism is good sense not yet instructed by revelation, and other religions are good sense perverted by superstition. All sects differ, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
