"The Feminist Majority stands with the women of our nation opposed to impeachment and with our sister organizations in a united call to action to help stop this spectacle that has overtaken our political system."

"Assume the worst - are these offenses crimes against the state? Can we equate this misconduct - especially abhorrent to feminist leaders - with treason and bribery and abuse of presidential power? Of course not. We must keep some sense of proportionality. It is precisely because of the sexual backdrop of this misconduct some of us feel even more compelled and duty-bound to speak out and to act."

"I have worked for three decades for women's rights. I want women to be respected and treated equally more than I can adequately express. But even I cannot look at this misconduct and label it a 'high' crime, which in Constitutional law was to constitute a crime against the state."

"Women have an unique role to play in the process. We have disproportionately supported the President because of his record on the issues. We deplore his misconduct but we also understand the hypocrisy of his opponents. We have years of progress at stake if this President is hounded out of office. But worse yet, we risk the ushering into power a 'puritanical' or fundamentalist sex police who speaks of freedom but allows government to destroy the right to privacy."

"Moreover, we as feminist leaders have a unique role - to sound the alarm. While this public spectacle is overshadowing the elections, we risk not only losing the gains of the of the Year of Women in 1992 in the 1998 Congressional elections but we risk years of reactionary control of both Houses of Congress and perhaps the Presidency itself. We must not allow disgust or disillusionment to keep women from the polls in November. The most effective way to stop this travesty is not to allow the political right wing to gain more control of Congress by a depressed turnout of women voters. Rather we must vote this November and we must stop this unjust process."
