In Her Own Words
"I am concerned about legislation that has been chipping away at women's ability to have access to complete advice regarding family planning, and imposition of unnecessary regulations on doctors and medical practices and the intrusion of the government into the relationship between a woman and her doctor." 1
"Israel is the only country in the Middle East that shares out democratic values. It is our staunchest ally in that part of the world." 2
"I believe this country is at its strongest when our citizens are able to freely practice their religion and religious ideologies are not imposed on others through the law or the courts." 3
