Team Ruth
"I think society needs to be more active on this issue, I mean the truth is with all these restrictive laws, the only people who are being restricted are poor women. So no woman of means will ever lack access to abortion in the US, because there are some states that will offer it."
~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg
