Lest We Forget
“Every totalitarian regime has shut down access to reproductive health. … Doing abortions matters for the woman, for her family, for society and now for freedom.” —Dr. WARREN HERN, founder of the Boulder Abortion Clinic in Colorado, speaking to the Los Angeles Times
“Can we get a solid answer on the difference of [figure skater Kamila Valieva’s] situation and mine? My mother died and I can’t run and was also favored to place top 3. The only difference I see is I’m a Black young lady.” —Sprinter SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON, who was prevented from competing in the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for cannabis, in a Tweet after Valieva was permitted to compete at the Beijing Olympics despite having tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs
“What we must start to focus on is not only to defend the DNA when it’s created, but however, how about we start inspiring women in the culture, to let them understand and know how heroic they are, and how unbelievable that they are, that God put them in this moment, and they don’t know that little baby inside them may be the next president.” —Michigan gubernatorial candidate GARRETT SOLDANO, defending his position that women who have been raped should not be allowed to have abortions
“I tell my daughters, ‘Well, if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it.’” —Michigan House candidate ROBERT REGAN on a Facebook livestream, in response to the question of whether it is still worth it to challenge the 2020 presidential election outcome
