I'm going to stand up for the right to choose.
Too many women in too many countries speak the same language, of silence.

In my own country, many of the movies in recent years express our innate fears about what awaits us.

They want to control how we dress. They want to control how we act. They even want to control the decisions we make about our own health and our own bodies. Yes, it is hard to believe but even here at home we have to stand up for women’s rights and we have to reject efforts to marginalize any one of us, because America has to set an example for the entire world.
