Young women today, as in the fifties, find themselves entering the big world and having to make choices.

There are so many women out there who are single moms, really not by choice, and doing it and making it work every day.

I reject the idea that when young women make choices with which we disagree, they are acting without autonomy.

If colleges and universities are really concerned about women's rights, then they must adjust to a far more flexible structure to allow young women students to take leaves of absence if they want to have children early.

I had a pregnancy that wasn't private... A lot of people had their opinions about it.
