If a university official's letter accusing a speaker of having a proclivity to commit speech crimes before she's given the speech - which then leads to Facebook postings demanding that Ann Coulter be hurt, a massive riot and a police-ordered cancellation of the speech - is not hate speech, then there is no such thing as hate speech. ↗

I have received so many messages of support from across the country - women and men speaking out because they agree that contraception needs to be treated as a basic health care service. ↗

With President Obama, there's a feeling that he gets it. He has women in his life. He knows that our health care is important, that it's important able to get access to the care that we need when we need it. That's what translates. Women hear that when they hear him speak about these issues. He will be a champion and will defend us when we need it. ↗

People think actresses find public speaking easy, and it's not easy at all; we're used to hiding behind masks. ↗
