“If women lose the right to say where and how they birth their children, then they will have lost something that's as dear to life as breathing.”

“Everyone of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories.”

“Life is stressful,dear. That's why they say "rest in peace.”

“The best time of my life has been the three instances where I have been there for the birth of my children. That is, nothing [else] has ever come close.”

“The worst of it is over now, and I can't say that I am glad. Lose that sense of loss--you have gone and lost something else.”

“I have no right to be sad about anything. No right to have therapy from expensive doctors like you for losing children who never existed. There is real grief in the world. There are real mothers losing real children.”
