Reproductive Power

"I have 11 children. People criticized me, and doctors recommended sterilization. NOW understands that reproductive freedom includes having all choices available to us—including having children and being able to raise them." —

Dolores Huerta, co-founder, United Farm Workers of America, and president, Dolores Huerta Foundation

My womb as Political Policy....

"Every time a governmental system decides what I should do with my body, I become less of a human being. This country's freedoms do not stop at my voice, but extend across every cell of my body and every part of my soul."

— Dakia Davis, North Carolina NOW leader and activist
