We've consistently seen, since the late 1990s, that more than half of women believe that abortion should be severely restricted or abolished altogether.

In 1985, I saw a tape of myself where my eyes were puffy. I looked very tired and bedraggled and not as youthful as I would like to have been.

Many African-American men are incarcerated. And so African-American women do carry an enormous burden. And traditionally have carried a greater burden than perhaps their white counterparts.

My satisfaction comes from my commitment to advancing a better world.
