U.S. Representative Mike Quigley released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- the Notorious R.B.G. -- was a fierce advocate for women's and reproductive rights, an unwavering champion for equality, and a titan of our legal system. Our country is a better place because of her commitment to the cause. She gave voice to the voiceless and ensured that the law served every American, no matter how marginalized. She helped us become a "more perfect Union" and her legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. One of only four women to serve on the Court in its 231 years, Justice Ginsburg was a trailblazer and a cultural and feminist icon. I join every American in mourning her loss."
