More quotes by Barbara Boxer
More than anything, I think as our country matures, we recognize that women deserve to be treated with respect and dignity
Barbara Boxer
Each issue has to be looked at as to whether or not it threatens a woman's health or her life, and if it does, you can't support it. And if she just wants to have her legal right to an abortion, she should be able to do it.
Barbara Boxer
There's a huge difference in the attitude of the people of the United States of America toward women in politics. It has taken an enormous turn toward equality.
Barbara Boxer
I am sure that every one of my colleagues Democrat, Republican, and Independent agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.
Barbara Boxer
I believe in truth-telling. So let's call it what it is. It's very troubling to see people like Bannon who make anti-Semitic remarks, who has a very checkered past be sitting next to the president of the United States. It puts an absolute responsibility on all of us to call it the way we see it and not use expressions like alt-right.
Barbara Boxer
I think we have to stop using the expression alt-right. It's ridiculous. It's racist, fascist, nationalist.
Barbara Boxer
Since 1980, we've used reconciliation 22 times, and out of those times, Republicans used it 16 times. So, earth to my Republican friends, you can have your option but you cannot change these facts. They're in the Congressional Record
Barbara Boxer
I'm hopeful that the energy efficiency and public buildings bill will have their endorsement.
Barbara Boxer
So when you go up against the Far Right you go up against the big financial special interests like the Halliburtons of the world, the big oil companies, the big energy companies who work so hard to rip us off.
Barbara Boxer
If it's racist, it's racist. If it's anti-Semitic, it's anti-Semitic. If it's anti-women, it's anti-women. If it's anti-immigrant, it's anti-immigrant, and we need to really strengthen our language, so that it is clear and not mushy.
Barbara Boxer
I've always thought of myself as a catalyst. Look, it's not without its perils. Ann Coulter called me learning disabled. The things people write about me.
Barbara Boxer
We are all different. Yet we are all God's children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us.
Barbara Boxer
We have the greatest hospitals, doctors, and medical technology in the world - we need to make them accessible to every American.
Barbara Boxer
I know from my constituency what is going on. Doctors that are told, begged, by mothers, 'Please don't write down that my child as asthma. Please lie and say it's bronchitis, because if you write down asthma, when my child turns 18 or 20 and has to get his or her own insurance, it will be a pre-existing condition.'
Barbara Boxer
My understanding of the Electoral College is that they have the right to vote for who they want. So they should vote their conscience, and if their conscience leads them that way, they should follow their conscience.
Barbara Boxer
In the early stages of a pregnancy, the Government cannot intervene with a woman's right to choose. That is it, plain and simple. Guess what. We are not going to be big brother or sister, as the case may be. We are going to allow a woman, her doctor, and her God to make that decision.
Barbara Boxer
Who knows when Donald Trump will have a press conference? Maybe he's just going to stay in Trump Tower and issue tweets - you know, gold-plated tweets to the American people. It's scary.
Barbara Boxer
When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, 'Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?' They want that.
Barbara Boxer
The point is that what we want, Democrats, and what we've always wanted, is to make abortion safe, legal, and rare.
Barbara Boxer
Tonight, you are hearing from the Democratic women of the Senate... We stand together on so many issues: economic prosperity, quality education for all, protecting a woman's right to choose
