“When The United Nations invited me to work as the UNFPA ambassador I was honored, and at the same time, concerned. Global population must be stabilized, but how do you tell a woman in a developing country that the one act which gives her life value must be re-examined? Do we have that right? Or should we say; We have a responsibility to help her have a healthy baby and provide education and opportunity that will add even more value to her life. These issues need to be discussed by women and men around the world and my role is to meet people, listen to what they have to say and see what we can do to help.” - Linda Gray -
