Women deserve the same permanent rights and explicit protections given men in the Constitution.

Women are half the population and they know how to take care of themselves, if they are only given access to health care.

We need to respect choices that women make.

Women have demanded and gotten better jobs and more power. But the one thing we deserve is a better relationship with ourselves.

That's not to say that women's priorities are better than men's. Rather, when women are empowered, when they can speak from the experience of their own lives, they often address different, previously neglected issues. And families and whole communities benefit.

Women should always take care of themselves first. It makes you more equipped to take care of others.

I think women have the right to consult their own wishes, needs, and capacities and produce only loved, wanted children they can care for - or even no children at all. I think we would all be better off as a society if we respected women's ability to make these decisions for themselves and concentrated on caring well for the born.

Whenever women struggle with breast cancer and face better care than ever, that's feminism.

I cannot support a measure that chooses to protect some women and not others.

Women tend to need the healthcare system more because we bear children. Insurance companies - not all of them, but many of them - 'gender-rate.' Women may pay 40% more for their health insurance than men do.
