"There's almost no one in America who can't relate to the issue of an unplanned pregnancy or a troubled pregnancy; it's touched them somehow in their lives."
Said Rhimes: "When you help make people healthier, it makes the nation healthier, it makes the world healthier, it makes the economy healthier.
"I just want to be of service, and I'll do that any way I can."
