Abortion Rights Quotes

• We are not going back. We are not returning to the days of back-room abortions, when countless women died or were maimed. The decision about abortion must remain a decision for the woman, her family and a physician to make, not the government.

• La preservación de la vida parece ser más un eslogan que un verdadero objetivo de las fuerzas antiabortistas; lo que quieren es control. Control sobre el comportamiento: poder sobre las mujeres. Las mujeres del movimiento antiabortista quieren compartir el poder masculino sobre las mujeres, y lo hacen negando su propia feminidad, sus propios derechos y responsabilidades.

• What's blinking red on my radar is the fact that for people who prioritize abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, or voting rights, those things are coming out of state legislatures, and some of the laws on reproduction stuff is coming out of city council, and so what's getting at me is the fact that there's just a fundamental lack of understanding that these laws are happening and being created by people who often won by ten votes in a midterm election.

• Legislators could easily be out-voted if people voted in midterm elections. The fact that we don't talk about all this stuff [ abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, or voting rights] very much because Donald Trump and the general election is sucking all the air out of the room - if people aren't paying attention to their state, they're certainly not paying attention to what's happening in other states.

• Parecía que ésta era una gran nación Prozac, un gran lío de malestar. Quizá la próxima vez que medio millón de personas se reúnan en una marcha de protesta sobre el verde de la Casa Blanca no sea por el derecho al aborto o la liberación de los homosexuales, sino porque todos estamos muy desanimados.

• Arlen Specter es el hombre que votó a favor de Bill Clinton durante el impeachment, votó en contra de Robert Bork para el Tribunal Supremo, votó en contra de la elección escolar para el Distrito de Columbia, respalda una interpretación absolutista del derecho al aborto.

• Se dice que la derecha religiosa quiere imponer su fe al público. Pero, ¿de qué fe estamos hablando?...

• When women talk about "privacy" they mean abortion rights, and the millions of words feminists have written about "a room of one'sown" refer to psychological space, rarely to physical solitude. For most women being alone is tantamount to being deserted.
