Danh ngôn của Kirsten Gillibrand (Sứ mệnh: 4)

Our Declaration of Independence was the start of a conversation about how to achieve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every citizen. Our Constitution was always intended to grow and adapt as we formed a more perfect union, established justice, and ensured peace, security, and the blessings of liberty.
Women in America must be trusted to make their own medical decisions and have access to the full range of reproductive health care, including abortion.
I have always stood up to protect women's access to safe and legal abortion, birth control and health care at Planned Parenthood.
Americans are guaranteed the constitutional right to legal abortion in Roe v. Wade, and it's past time for Republicans to stop using the issue as a political football. In fact, it's past time for Republican politicians to stop interfering in women's personal lives, period.
I was one of the first senators to support marriage equality, and led the effort to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.
A bright future for the nation depends on the health and prosperity of rural America.
I didn't know how to pass a major piece of legislation; I didn't know how to get colleagues to support my views. It took a lot of asking for advice and learning. One of the lessons is that you have to be able to tell people why you care, and you're only going to be able to do that if you talk to someone whom an issue is affecting.
