“The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it’s called the empowerment of women. If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some doctrine—religious doctrine—condemns them, and then if you’ll throw in a handful of seeds perhaps and some credit, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but education, health, and optimism will increase… Name me one religion that stands for that, or ever has.”
Christopher Hitchens, speaking during a Nov. 26, 2010 debate with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair (via iboudreau)
