This quote by Nicholas D. Kristof is a call to action for all sides of the abortion debate to come together and concentrate on the real concern at hand: offering help to improve maternal health in poor countries. He is suggesting that instead of discussing the morality of abortion, we must be concentrating on supplying resources to those in need.

By doing this, we can help in reducing the number of maternal deaths and improve the quality of life for moms and their children. This quote is a pointer that we ought to be focusing on the real issue and not getting distracted by politics. We need to be interacting to make a distinction in the lives of those in need.
