Motivating quotes from women

Released Statement from Nancy Pelosi - March 14, 2025

Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani education activist and Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Released Statement from Nancy Pelosi - March 14, 2025

 “Democratic senators should listen to the women.  Appropriations leaders  Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that  we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep  government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement.  America has  experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only  makes matters worse.  Democrats must not buy into this false choice.   We must fight back for a better way.  Listen to the women, For The  People.” 

Maya Angelou - March 8, 2023

Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani education activist and Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Released Statement from Nancy Pelosi - March 14, 2025

 “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”

 “I raise up my own voice – not so that I can shout, but so that those  without a voice can be heard.  We cannot all succeed when half of us are  held back.” 

Jacinda Ardern, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand

 “One of the criticisms I’ve faced over the years is that I’m not  aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I’m  empathetic, it means I’m weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to  believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.”  

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Jacinda Ardern, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

 “Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.” 


They said what?

Words are important

We need to hold our politicians and leaders accountable for what they say. 


Knowing what they actually think helps us plan for their actions and know what to expect from them.


We also need to never forget what they have said.


Ridiculous conservative Politicians and public figures quote

Councilman JR Doporto of Carlsbad, New Mexico - January 2017

Vice Chair of the Utah Republican Party James Green, February 2017

Councilman JR Doporto of Carlsbad, New Mexico - January 2017

 "Just want to give a heads up to the women! You have rights! A right to cook and a right to clean. Today is Sunday and the NFL playoffs our on! I suggest you stop your b!tch!ng/protesting during this time. Because you also have a right to get slapped!" 

Oklahoma State Rep. Justin Humphrey, January 2017

Vice Chair of the Utah Republican Party James Green, February 2017

Councilman JR Doporto of Carlsbad, New Mexico - January 2017

 "I understand that they feel like that is their body. I feel like it is a separate — what I call them is, is you're a "host." And you know when you enter into a relationship you're going to be that host and so, you know, if you pre-know that then take all precautions and don't get pregnant. So that's where I'm at. I'm like, hey, your body is your body and be responsible with it. But after you're irresponsible then don't claim, well, I can just go and do this with another body, when you’re the host and you invited that in."

Vice Chair of the Utah Republican Party James Green, February 2017

Vice Chair of the Utah Republican Party James Green, February 2017

Vice Chair of the Utah Republican Party James Green, February 2017

"If businesses are forced to pay women the same as male earnings, that means they will have to reduce the pay for the men they employ, simple economics.
If that happens, then men will have an even more difficult time earning enough to support their families, which will mean more Mothers will be forced to leave the home (where they may prefer to be) to join the workforce to make up the difference.
And as even more women thus enter the workforce that creates more competition for jobs (even men's jobs) and puts further downward pressure on the pay for all jobs, meaning more and more Mothers will be forced into the workforce. And that is bad for families and thus for all of society."

 "If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted." 

Sen. Rick Santorum, 2012

U.S. Representative Steve Stockman (TX) - April 11, 2013.

U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, 2012

"One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is, I think, the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that’s okay." Contraception’s okay.' It’s not okay, because it’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." They’re supposed to be within marriage, they are supposed to be for purposes that are, yes, conjugal, but also in unity, but also procreative." 

U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, 2012

U.S. Representative Steve Stockman (TX) - April 11, 2013.

U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, 2012

"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." 

Virginia state Sen. Steve Martin

U.S. Representative Trent Franks (AZ) - June 2013

Virginia state Sen. Steve Martin

"I don’t expect to be in the room or will I do anything to prevent you from obtaining a contraceptive. However, once a child does exist in your womb, I’m not going to assume a right to kill it just because the child’s host (some refer to them as mothers) doesn’t want it." 

Idaho state Senator Chuck Winder

U.S. Representative Trent Franks (AZ) - June 2013

Virginia state Sen. Steve Martin

"I would hope that when a woman goes into a physician with a rape issue that that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage, or was it truly caused by a rape." 

U.S. Representative Trent Franks (AZ) - June 2013

"Women don't get pregnant that often from rape!" 

Jerry Falwell

Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman

U.S. Representative Trent Franks (AZ) - June 2013

 I listen to feminists and all these radical gals — most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men — that's their problem."

"Money is more important for men. Take a hypothetical husband and wife who are both lawyers. But the husband is working 50 or 60 hours a week, going all out, making 200 grand a year. The woman takes time off, raises kids, is not “go go go.” Now they’re 50 years old. The husband is making 200 grand a year, the woman is making 40 grand a year. It wasn’t discrimination. There was a different sense of urgency in each person."

Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana

Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman

Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman

 " When officers arrest criminals today, they are read their rights. Now if we're giving criminals their basic rights and they have to be informed of those rights, it seems to me only common sense we would have to do the same thing for women before they make the choice about whether to get an abortion."

Vance said that "Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country". 


Trump subsequently echoed the allegations, including during a presidential debate. 


Springfield authorities said there were "no credible reports or specific claims" of such incidents and that "Haitian immigrants are here legally"

 "I'm going to say something politically incorrect that is perfectly  commonsensical observation. Dads push us to take risks. Moms put the  training wheels on our bike. We need mom's, but not in the military,  especially in combat units."

 "Unlike the mythologies of great Amazonian Warriors in the Greek  mythology, most of the world's accounts of women in war were connected  to seductive and sexual power."

 "Our military now trains our metaphorical life givers to be combat life  takers and then when they become biological life givers our DoD and VA  help them be baby life takers in the name of keeping them on the team as  combat life takers. The logic of evil."

 "Abortion is not between a doctor and a woman. And I define a woman as a  person that is actually a woman. It is a now a decision made between  her doctor, her therapist, herself, her veteran advocate, and her first  line supervisor in the military. Who could possibly argue with that  logic."
