Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman's right to make her own choices about her body and her health... At a time when women's rights are under assault from the White House, the Republican Congress, and in states across the country, we must speak up for this principle as loudly as ever and with one voice.

Thomas Perez

The government has a right - the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing - all these things.

Keith Ellison

No woman should be told she can't make her own decisions about her body. If women's reproductive rights come under attack, I will be standing up for women.

Kamala Harris

I’ve only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn’t have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That’s so rare. So we have to look at the reality and not romanticize it. We have to be clear that you have the right to sell your own body but nobody has the right to sell anybody else’s body. No one has that right.

Gloria Steinem

We have to allow people in the states to make their own decisions, to get government agencies out of the way and let local people make decisions about what's best for them.

Pete Sessions

Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman's right to make her own choices about her body and her health. That is not negotiable.

Tom Perez

This is a God-given right of any man.Anytime you have a man who is getting lynched, and what are his people supposed to do? Sit around and forgive the lyncher or wait on the United States government to go in and get the lyncher, like the United States government did in the case of, of Charles Mack Parker, and the FBI found who were the guilty lynchers, and right to this day, the FBI, the highest law enforcement body in the land, has yet to bring the lynchers of Mack Parker to justice?

Malcolm X

A woman relinquishes her unfettered right to control her own body when her actions cause the conception of a baby

Dennis Richardson

We must not let politicians who believe they are above the Constitution interfere with the personal health decisions of women. It is the job of a woman, not a politician, to make informed decisions about her own pregnancy.

Mike Quigley

A married woman has the same right to control her own body as does an unmarried woman.

Sol Wachtler

I think the most important thing my wife Cynthia and I can do for Kristen is to teach her how to grow up to be a woman and make her own decisions. Meanwhile, we sometimes have to guide her.

Kent McCord

Abortion is a moral right-which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered. Who can conceivably have the right to dictate to her what disposition she is to make of the functions of her body?

Ayn Rand

I don't think the government should be involved in a woman's right to choose what is happening to her body.

Amy McGrath

The woman is constantly aware for nine months that her body is not wholly her own: the state has conscripted her body for its own ends. Thus, abortion restrictions 'reduce pregnant women to no more than fetal containers.'

Dawn Johnsen

The other view is of the official United States, the United States of armies and interventions. The United States that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of Mossadegh in Iran and brought back the shah.

Edward Said

No man ever saw the people of whom he forms a part. No man ever saw a government. I live in the midst of the Government of the United States, but I never saw the Government of the United States. Its personnel extends through all the nations, and across the seas, and into every corner of the world in the persons of the representatives of the United States in foreign capitals and in foreign centres of commerce.

Woodrow Wilson
