After all, the Nigerian-born founder of Culture of Life Africa is a pro-life advocate, and like so many involved in that mission, "we've seen it all, we've seen so many difficult things."

Indeed, for those who don't know, Ekeocha has sangfroid to spare.

She faced down a hostile BBC television host to unflappably debunk the myth that contraception is a "human right" and the answer to poverty in Africa.
