Political Quotes

On the recordMay 10, 2022
The horrifying reality is that, in a matter of weeks, we could live in a post-Roe country, a country where women no longer have the fundamental right to make decisions about their own bodies; a country where women no longer have control over when and how to start a family; a country where women will suddenly face government interference in their personal lives, their privacy, and their freedom. Overturning Roe will not eliminate the need for abortion; it will simply eliminate access to safe, legal abortion care. And it will take the worst toll on poor women, women of color, and others who already face countless barriers to healthcare. Decisions about a woman's body are deeply personal. They should not be controlled by politicians. Every person, no matter where they live, how much money they make, or what they look like, deserves the right to make their own decisions about their health, life, and future. ____________________
