I just want to remind people that the task of those who support reproductive rights and reproductive justice didn't change based on who is in the White House. We have leadership that is not supportive of what we're trying to do, but the demand for justice shouldn't be modulated.

There's a saying that you can't awaken somebody who's pretending to be asleep.

If you're making abortion illegal and undermining the various things that will allow the prevention of that need, it can only be a situation that goes from bad to worse.

Donald Trump has every intention to repeal the Affordable Care Act, as much because it's known as Obamacare [as because he wants] to try and deconstruct the legacy of President Obama. But that has implications that mean women who were accessing family planning and contraception as a preventative service with no co-pay will lose access to that coverage. We [will] only see an exacerbation of the things we were engaged in trying to prevent - like unplanned pregnancy and the need for abortion, which creates a societal dilemma.

I'm full of clichés - I was raised by a Southern black woman and they had a saying for everything.

The US government is like an ocean liner, not like a speed boat. It's harder to turn around than people might think.

Certainly, my friends and the common narrative is people are trying to shore up their own lives with regards to family planning and reproduction.
