Every woman is different when they go through menopause, and… I didn’t know emotionally how I would feel.

I grew up hearing stories about my grandmother – my mother’s mother – who used to go to villages in India in her little VW bug. My grandmother would take a bullhorn and make sure women in these villages knew how to access birth control.

‚Whole Women’s Health‘ made it very clear that poor women were no longer going to be left out.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‚to do‘ list.

It’s so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy. Losing your cool makes you tired. Getting angry a lot messes with your health.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

I’m interested in women’s health because I’m a woman. I’d be a darn fool not to be on my own side.

Most women in my family start to get sick and start dying in their 40s, and I am going to be very happy to become 50 and 60. I love getting older.

I certainly respect the belief of the Hobby Lobby owners. On the other hand, they have no constitutional right to foist that belief on the hundreds and hundreds of women who work for them who don’t share that belief.

Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live.

We will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country.

Contraceptive protection is something every woman must have access to, to control her own destiny.

If there is even one woman out there who went and got checked and found that she had cancer or she was positive and she caught something in time, and if in any small way I was a part of that, it makes me very emotional.

I do not believe that government should be in the business of telling women what they should do with their bodies.
