There's also really no way of knowing what Donald Trump is going to do - he's been sufficiently vague in his policy positions.

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

There's a willful ignorance. We indulge people who are willfully misrepresenting the facts. I don't think those [anti-choice] congresspeople are as much benignly misguided as they are intentionally and willfully ignorant of the facts of reproduction. That lends itself very well to them being ideologically driven and carrying out agendas that, if they were to be really honest about the facts, would be a tougher sell.

We have to work under the assumption that the things that we fought hard for to protect women will be under assault, and we have to bring all our creativity and our energy to bear to preserve those things, no matter who is in the White House.

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.

We can take that as a notion that we don't know exactly what [Trump] is going to do, but we can't afford to take a position of waiting around to see.

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