One of the great lessons I've learned in athletics is that you've got to discipline your life. No matter how good you may be, you've got to be willing to cut out of your life those things that keep you from going to the top.

Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.

I won it, at least five million times. Men who were stronger, bigger and faster than I was could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, and never made the feeble effort to pick their legs off the ground and get over the bar.

And because of President Obama, more women than ever are serving in the Cabinet and on the Supreme Court.

Nearly 100 years ago, when Planned Parenthood was founded, birth control was illegal.

President Obama understands women. He trusts women. And on every issue that matters to us, he stands with women.

Thanks to President Obama, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition!

So why are we having to fight in 2012 against politicians who want to end access to birth control? It's like we woke up in a bad episode of 'Mad Men.'
