“[She] hadn't given a lot of thought to the many reasons why women needed abortions, but there was such a wide range: maternal health, money, rape and incest, shocking cluelessness about how pregnancy even happens, lack of access to birth control, failed birth control, and ge, both too young and too old.”

“No matter what you want to call it," Veronica said, steering clear of words like cells and fetus that might further inflame Patty, "it resides inside a fully grown woman with a life to lead. Jane helps those women lead better lives.”

“Naixies amb un seguit de pertinences, propietats, i potser fins i tot algun títol sota el braç. Però tot això no era teu, era de la teva família, i en créixer, a diferència dels teus parents barons, aquelles coses seguien sense ser teves, doncs ara passaven a ser del teu marit. Algú que igual que tu, havia nascut amb pertinences, propietats, i pot ser fins i tot un títol sota el braç. Tot per dret de sang, un dret no aplicable a aquells que perden de manera mensual. I en aquell moment entenies que mai res havia estat teu, i que mai ho seria, i fins i tot podries pensar que el teu valor no era altre que el de l'intercanvi: béns per serveis. Com qui ven a la mula.”

“Men tend to rebel when young and become more conservative with age, but women tend to be more conservative when young and become rebellious as we grow older. I’d noticed this pattern in the suffragist/ abolitionist era, when women over fifty, sixty, even seventy were a disproportionate number of the activists and leaders—think of Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony, or Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Ida B. Wells—but I’d assumed it was due to the restrictions placed on younger women by uncontrolled childbirth and their status as household chattel: hard facts that limited all but a few single or widowed white women, and all but even fewer free women of color.”

“Today’s young women are encouraged to feel somewhat the same way about feminists who preceded them, a conscious or unconscious way of stopping change by distorting the image of changemakers.”

“When men get angry onscreen, they're angry at the system. When women are angry onscreen, they're angry at someone. Women are not allowed to be angry at the system, because that would be a tacit acceptance that we're all participants in the oppressive patriarchal structure that create this pressing, everyday anger. Women onscreen are only allowed to be angry at one person, one wrongdoing. Something they can fix. Something that doesn't antagonize audiences too much.”

“There is no way to directly oblige a woman to give birth. All that can be done is to enclose her in situations where motherhood is her only option. Laws or customs impose marriage on her. Anticonception means and abortion are banned. Divorce is forbidden.”

“Unlikeable" is code. It's code for "fair game." If a woman in unlikable, she is stepping out of bounds. Which makes it fair game to decimate her socially, emotionally, or physically. Likeability gives us permission to annihilate women who don't bend to its rules.”
