"I'm not sayin I'm looking for a hero. I'm not sayin I'm looking to be saved, but does a fight have to be 'yours' for you to take it on?"

"This is a message to my bros.

"Bros! C'mon I love you bros. But some of you policy-makin bros are passing all sorts of obnoxious laws and saying all sorts of nasty things about us ladies. And the bros who haven't managed to get themselves elected aren't really doing much about it at all, I mean they're just kinda SITTING there.

"I'm not sayin I'm looking for a hero. I'm not sayin I'm looking to be saved, but does a fight have to be 'yours' for you to take it on? I mean, lemme tell ya something bro: If anybody messed with you, bro, I'd be all over it. I got some bros that don't even have the same rights as me because they love other bros. And I'm all over that shit.

"Listen up, bro: if you love your mother, and your sister, and if you ever want to see a vagina EVER again, I got a couple rules for you, OK?

"RULE #1: The way to a woman's heart is never through a mandatory vaginal ultrasound.

"RULE #2: A little love for contraceptive equality never hurt anybody. There seems to be NO movement to ban condoms. Lemme tell ya something: billions of potential Americans die every day in your gym sock. But NO ONE's gonna legislate that.

"RULE #3: If you don't understand how our ladyparts work, you don't get to make any laws about them. I can't put my finger on it it, but it just feels wrong. I guess because all these people saying they want Big Government out their backyards are trying to legislate my pussay.

"RULE #4: If you stand up for reproductive rights today, there's a better chance that we'll still be around tomorrow. To blow you."
