Because It's Important. Laws Can

One Of My Mentors Was Patricia Schroeder, And One Night She Came To Me On The Floor And She Said To Me, "why Are We Sitting In Congress, When A Lot Of Women Would Try To Do It And Couldn't? Why Are We Here And Others Aren't?" And I Thought Back And Said It Was Because My Father Believed In Me And She Said The Same Thing, She Said Her Father Believed In Her And Thought She Could Do Anything.

Healthy Moms Mean Healthy Families. When My Republican Colleagues Held A Hearing About Birth Control And Refused To Include A Single Woman On The First Panel As A Witness, I Asked, "where Are The Women?"

We Need A Mayor Who Knows How To Balance A Budget, Who Understands The Urgency Of Delivering All The Services That A Great City Needs, Who Understand The Need Of Working Families.

Usually Women Are The Lynchpins Of The Family. They Carry The Brunt Of The Work At Home And Of Being Mothers And Of Taking Care Of The Children. Not Always. I Have A Wonderful Husband, Who Is A Great Father And Has Helped Tremendously At Home. And I Think That Men Are Getting In Touch And I Think That The Role That They Have Is So Important, To Be A Good Father And Have A Good Career And Be A Good Husband. But I Think That As More And More Women Go Into The Workforce, You Have To Have More Help At Home And It Becomes More Of A Sharing Of Responsibilities.

Women Deserve The Same Permanent Rights And Explicit Protections Given Men In The Constitution.
