It's always been my feeling that God lends you your children until they're about eighteen years old. If you haven't made your points with them by then, it's too late.

I'll never forget the day that I was told I would have to have a mastectomy. My reaction to the words was total denial.

Any woman should have the right to a safe and legal abortion.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.

I believe the equal rights amendment is a necessity of life for all citizens. The cabinet sometimes felt that I shouldn't be so outspoken.
