Olivia Wilde: As a woman, it is important
for me to have a President who represents
my values and my rights.
Julianna Margulies: It’s very important
that women have a voice in this election.
Julianne Moore: Every vote counts.
Every voice counts.
Jennifer Lopez: Women will help decide this
election.
Gloria Steinem: If we understand our power,
we can move forward.
Eva Longoria: I find such a champion in President
Obama and which is why I passionately support
him specifically because I’m a woman.
Beyoncé Knowles: He also has the story that
I can tell my daughter because it shows that
no matter where you start out you can work
hard, and you can do whatever you put your
mind to.
Ashley Judd: It’s a story that touches me
and one that’s very familiar to me, with
how I was raised, you know, and our mom was
a single parent; she had spectacular dreams
for herself and us girls.
Sheryl Crow: When I hear him speak about his
girls I know that what he’s thinking of
is not just the future of this country but
the future of all young women.
Julianna Margulies: In the three and a half
years he’s been in office, women truly have
come first.
Cecile Richards: Unfortunately, I think in
this election there is a strong contrast between
the positions of this president, who believes
in women who trusts women to make responsible
decisions, and frankly the Republican Party
leadership who seems to want to take away
the right and put government in between women
and their doctors.
Padma Lakshmi: I’m a woman but I don’t
expect any special treatment for being a woman.
What I do expect is the same treatment as
a man has.
Eva Longoria: It feels like we’re in a different
era, I mean an era that I have never known
in my lifetime that is challenging and trying
to dismantle every gain that women’s rights
have accomplished over the last 30, 40, 50
years.
Kerry Washington: I’m really struck that
Romney would not commit to whether or not
he would have voted to support Lilly Ledbetter
Act; I’m struck that he won’t commit to
supporting the Violence Against Women Act.
Olivia Wilde: It’s unbelievable to hear
a Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, say, Rovy
Way- yeah I would overturn that, planned parenthood-
no get rid of it…I mean with such a cavalier
attitude towards our rights.
Jane Lynch: We could lose some of these rights
that I know, I being born in 1960, take for
granted.
You know I was brought up with abortion being
legal, I was brought up known that there was
a planned parenthood where I could go and
get screenings.
Julianne Moore: How am I supposed to present
that to my children, where I say like you
know my daughter is going to have, may under
a republican administration, have a different
set of opportunities and obstacles than my
son.
Olivia Wilde: I feel safer knowing that my
President understands the value of women’s
rights.
Kerry Washington: You can’t, I mean, there’s
no way to say that this is a president who
doesn’t believe in women and in women’s
empowerment.
Jennifer Lopez: I grew up with a strong, hard
working mom, and dad, and two brilliant sisters.
I learned that from an early age that when
women come together there’s nothing that
we can’t do.
Gloria Steinem: We will decide this election.
Really it’s a question of whether we vote
or not…it’s that simple.
Jane Lynch: We’ve got to get out there;
we have to make sure this man stays in office.
Beyoncé Knowles: It’s not just about supporting
the President because I want to see him re-elected,
I’m standing up for the future of my daughter,
the future I want her to see.
Padma Lakshmi: President Obama is the only
choice to help us move forward.
