Certainly, my friends and the common narrative is people are trying to shore up their own lives with regards to family planning and reproduction.

I'm full of clichés - I was raised by a Southern black woman and they had a saying for everything.

Most of us have to think worst-case scenario.

The US government is like an ocean liner, not like a speed boat. It's harder to turn around than people might think.

There's a saying that you can't awaken somebody who's pretending to be asleep.

We can take that as a notion that we don't know exactly what [Trump] is going to do, but we can't afford to take a position of waiting around to see.

We have to work under the assumption that the things that we fought hard for to protect women will be under assault, and we have to bring all our creativity and our energy to bear to preserve those things, no matter who is in the White House.

If you're making abortion illegal and undermining the various things that will allow the prevention of that need, it can only be a situation that goes from bad to worse.

There's also really no way of knowing what Donald Trump is going to do - he's been sufficiently vague in his policy positions.

I just want to remind people that the task of those who support reproductive rights and reproductive justice didn't change based on who is in the White House. We have leadership that is not supportive of what we're trying to do, but the demand for justice shouldn't be modulated.
