  • "I have been a passionate activist for women’s rights for many years. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do for our country. We will codify Roe v Wade in the first days of a Democratic Congress." (www.devinhermanson.com)
  • "I haven't said much - mostly wanted to listen for a while - but to all the women who have been posting about the pain of the end of Roe v Wade, I want to say that I am with you 100%." (x.com)
