Forty-five years ago, I was alone in a society that placed little value on my dignity, my freedom, my children, and my choice. Here we are, and here we have been. This is once again our moment and our responsibility. Our freedom belongs to us; it is our right, and it is our responsibility to protect it; and we have the power to do so. If we embrace this responsibility, a society that fully values women, supports children, and protects the freedoms that define America awaits.
