Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise. -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg
When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade.

We wouldn't have had all these cases which the Left love. -- Rick Santorum
