Altering history to suit a different zeitgeist is one of the hallmarks of a dictatorship, and is a close relative of disseminating fake news.

If someone used specific words, it was because those were the words that they felt applied to what they had to say. If someone else wants to say something different, they should choose their own words and write their own testimony, and not doctor an existing statement to give a false impression.

ACLU
@ACLU
With Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, we lost a champion for abortion and gender equality. And on the anniversary of her death, the fight to protect abortion access is more urgent than ever.

And then they post a doctored version of her quote to remove any reference to a female.

Her original quote reproduced for accuracy. How insulting to laud the woman but "correct" her language. Shame on the ACLU and those that endorse these "inclusive" behaviours.
