“As women, we’ve come way too far to turn back. And we won’t.”
By on
Women at the Democratic National Convention are speaking up for President Obama and speaking out against Republican attempts to roll back our rights:
“As women, we’ve come way too far to turn back. And we won’t.” – Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America
“Our president really believes in a woman's right to choose. Women fought long and hard for that right, and he's going to fight long and hard to protect it for us.” – Joanne, a convention attendee from New Hampshire
“Maybe 23 cents doesn't sound like a lot to someone with a Swiss bank account, Cayman Island Investments and an IRA worth tens of millions of dollars. But Governor Romney, when we lose 23 cents every hour, every day, every paycheck, every job, over our entire lives, what we lose can't just be measured in dollars.” – Lilly Ledbetter on the fight for equal pay
“Our president, when he hears a young woman has been attacked, worries about his daughters—not his delegates or his donors.” – Sandra Fluke
“We believe that a woman should make health care decisions with her family, her doctor, and her God. And we believe that there's no place in that room for politicians—especially politicians who don't know how women's bodies work.” – Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL
“Because of President Obama, being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition.” – Senator Barbara Mikulski
“President Obama believes in a country where billionaires pay their taxes just like their secretaries do, and—I can't believe I have to say this in 2012—a country where women get equal pay for equal work.” – Elizabeth Warren
"In Texas, we have a saying: Don't mess with Texas. In Charlotte, we say don't mess with women." – Jehmu Green
“This is a president who has done so much for women's health. I'm from Illinois and I'm going out to Iowa to volunteer because I want to do everything I can to re-elect this president.” – Michelle, a breast cancer survivor
