“It's so weird being straight. You have no defenses. Shit happens and you have to feel it. You have no choice.”

“If you didn't have a choice, you have to make a choice. If you didn't have options, you made some. You couldn't just let the world happen to you.”

“Sometimes shit happens even if you have a shit shield”

“Jake: I'm not offering up excuses of any kind... I was just saying that sometimes shit happens, and I don't have a choice.Natalie: No, Jake, that's where you're wrong. Me getting cancer? True enough, I had no choice. How you treat the ones you love? Well, there, you always have a choice.”

“Here is the trap you are in.... And it's not my trap—I haven't trapped you. Because abortions are illegal, women who need and want them have no choice in the matter, and you—because you know how to perform them—have no choice, either. What has been violated here is your freedom of choice, and every woman's freedom of choice, too. If abortion was legal, a woman would have a choice—and so would you. You could feel free not to do it because someone else would. But the way it is, you're trapped. Women are trapped. Women are victims, and so are you.”

“I know you may feel so far that circumstances have directed your path, but right now I want you to know that you do have a choice.”
