Hard cases make bad laws ... We have decided not to work with these disreputable right-wing organizations and individuals advancing [Jones'] cause.

One of the advantages of being alomost 60 is that I can look back 35 or 40 years when I was first coming out of college and remember what it was like. I can see that when we fight back we make progress.

Maybe some of the younger folks here will live to see the Court change again in a better direction, but I probably won't.

I just have that sense this is the reason we got Sandra Day O'Connor on the Court in the first place is because Ronald Reagan was running for President.

I think of Katie, a woman who I was arrested with, in the Capital Rotunda, just a week ago, who was herself fleeing an 11-year marriage to an abusive man who beat her for 11 years and when she fled, she fell into poverty.

John Ashcroft ... stands for some of the most regressive policies on the ultraconservative agenda. He would ban contraceptive pills, deny contraceptive action to a woman who had been raped and would not allow an abortion in a case of incest.

Patricia Ireland, the pillbox hat-wearing, scotch-pouring servant had taken on the big boys and come out ahead!

Is a woman raped every three minutes or every six minutes? It is far too much, whatever it is.

With Bush naming Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas as justices he most respects, I shudder to think what would happen to the fragile balance on the court.

I don't think Bush has any intention of being accomodating. He is one of these aren't I great kind of guys, and in some sense that is what you get to do when you are President.

I was in a demonstration in Miami-Dade back in the 1980s opposing aid to the contras in Central America. We were surrounded by 2,000 screaming right wingers. They threw rocks at us.

The Republican legislators appear ready to usurp our citizens' right to vote and simply anoint electors pledged to George W. Bush. These legislators present perhaps the gravest threat to the democratic process to date in this election.

A judge out in Baltimore sentenced Ken Peacock to 18 month's work release after the cold-blooded murder of his wife. I think that we have a structure, a culture that is based on the dominant dad whether it's in a family or in the politics.

I think the YWCA should be a model for faith-based organizations providing services. They don't discriminate based on religion in hiring or in provision of services. And they do a really good job on battered women's shelters. They're the largest providers in the country.

While the Senate remains overwhelmingly male and without a single African-American member, we are confident we will be able to focus public pressure on the Senate to be mindful of the popular vote-no matter who sits in the White House.

They plan to ride into the White House on the Sweet Talk Express. Well, think again. Bush and Cheney are not compassionate conservatives. They are ruthless reactionaries.

We do not intend to encourage higher courts to consider and possibly create legal precedent that would injure everyday women in the workplace, based on the allegations and evidence of a politically charged case,

The Young Women's Christian Association is nourished by its roots in Christianity and, at the same time, over the years, it's been enriched by beliefs and values from all kinds of places, even, in fact, strengthened by our diversity.

My answer to those who oppose my appointment as CEO is that this is really a decision of the YWCA. They want to strengthen their grassroots to advocate on behalf of women's and children's empowerment and ending racism.

The opposition has moved from a blaming the victim to blaming the victim's advocate's statistics. Irrespective of what the numbers are, it's far too many.
