Granted, it takes more than coming in and stopping the immediate threat to truly end a systemic problem like global reproductive rights issues. I certainly don't have the answers. The whole system of patriarchal influence needs to go, if you ask me (and clearly that's not a real-world plan for the time being).
People (women & girls especially) need help. They need to help each other.

I actually totaly agree with you...
Help, support, education is needed... But to use your analagy... they are your legs to support you.. no one else's will work for you.. Because in the end.. there is only you who can say what is worth the price that needs to be paid..
