I remember what it was like in the 1960's in rural Louisiana. Women did not have many options. My own best friend in high school had a baby at 16. I don't want us to go back to those days.

It's always an uphill battle to defeat a Supreme Court nominee, but this is a fight worth having.

NOW decided we had to stop the violence. [Joseph] Scheidler [an anti-abortionist terrorist leader] and his gang were calling in blitzes-they would attack clinics without warning and hold staff and patients hostage. Clinics were being blockaded and invaded. If we did not act, we thought clinics would not be able to stay open.

Women don't even have equal treatment when it comes to filing a lawsuit for discrimination.

Abusers are engineers and architects and janitors and police officers and any other walk of life. There's not a job or profession that is exempt.

We're talking about really vital services to people who are already in a terrible situation and really in need of emergency services - and there aren't alternatives.
