Gloria Rachel Allred,  1990 Gloria Allred testimony before United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary (1990)

“ In the sweep of a pen, the Supreme Court promised all American women that there would never again be another Jane Roe, beginning distant courts for the basic human right to decide for herself whether to terminate a pernancy. Never again, the Court promised, may the State presume to intrude on a decision so intimate and significant that it may well determine the remainder of a young woman's life. ”

Gloria Rachel Allred,  1990 Gloria Allred testimony before United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary (1990)

“ We cannot pretend that the question before this Senate Judiciary Committee is simply whether Judge David Souter is a competent jurist. We know that the next Supreme Court Justice will become the deciding vote in the Court's decision to either preserve its promise to American women, that they will never again be forced into illegal and, therefore, unsafe abortions, or to renege on that promise. We know that the next Supreme Court Justice will decide the fate of women into the next century. ”

Gloria Rachel Allred,  Attorney Gloria Allred's Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh (2012)

“ Well Rush, I can tell you that where I draw the line is when you attack a young woman who did nothing other than appear before a Congressional committee to testify on a controversial and important subject that has an impact on the lives of millions of American women. Where is your sense of personal responsibility and accountability? You seem to think that because you have a forum that reaches millions of people that gives you a license to defame and vilify those who disagree with your political viewpoints. ”
