Every era in history has needed, and will need, reproductive health services.

In an odd way, my parents were proud of me. When they saw me do stand-up, I'd see them looking around the room and watch them taking in the people laughing. On some level, that comforted them.

You don't have to be famous. You just have to find your own coven of bad-asses that you trust and want to empower.

One of the first things Catholic school taught me is that babies were born sinners. You sucked before you took your first breath.

I think that if you see that people are laughing, you know they haven't given up hope. You see that people are laughing because everyone has identified the collective hypocrisy of a law or of a politician who is crafting those laws. It's really nice to know that you can have a range of emotion on an issue. You can feel outrage, you can feel sadness, you can find humor, and all of those things are part of coping and dealing, and really, they give you an inspired way of moving forward as you fight.

It's always fun when somebody who you admire and respect is the voice - is your voice, as a viewer.

I've always considered myself a feminist, I always considered myself somebody who is a reproductive rights activist, and I've spent the past 25 years of my life speaking truth to power. And using humor to do that.
