No parent wants their child to get an infection or get pregnant before they're ready.

I would be excited if we could reimagine workplaces that start from a premise that women are going to be a central part: Women are going to bear children, people are going to raise those children, and it's not going to be a nuisance - it's actually going to be understood as part of the deal.

I think women have the opportunity to change the landscape and change the direction of America.

If you look at the workforce and the way our laws work around so many issues, it's as if women are supposed to retrofit themselves into a workplace that was never created for them.

All my life, I've been lucky to work in social justice, starting as a labor organizer working with low-wage working women.
