Women Rights

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or rights:

“I can’t change the teachings of Christ. I can’t change the teachings of Christ!... I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust ... and God forgives me for it.... Christ says, Don’t consider yourself better than someone else.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

“Human beings have rights, because they are moral beings: the rights of all men grow out of their moral nature; and as all men have the same moral nature, they have essentially the same rights. These rights may be wrested from the slave, but they cannot be alienated: his title to himself is as perfect now, as is that of Lyman Beecher: it is stamped on his moral being, and is, like it, imperishable.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
