Summary

This quote suggests that war, famine, poverty, and the oppression of workers persist because society undervalues or disregards the importance of women's lives. It implies that until women take control of their reproductive choices and reduce the number of unwanted or unsupported births, human life will continue to be seen as expendable. The quote invites reflection on the potential role of empowered women in reshaping societal values to prioritize the preservation and value of human life.
