Rest in Power, RBG✨ Thank you for fighting relentlessly for the good of our nation. May we dare to be as brave, honest, and just as Ruth Bader Ginsburg & continue to fight for her legacy💪🏻
“The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her wellbeing and dignity. It is a decision she must make herself. When Government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.”
Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Yesterday I finally got around to seeing the RBG documentary. Justice Ginsburg is incredible in so many ways, from her rise in the legal profession during time when women were not welcome in the field to using her voice to champion women's equality.
Despite being known for her famous dissents, what struck me is that through much of her career she was known as a consensus builder -- showing that you can both be opinionated / outspoken and bring people together!
