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.

There is no other group where the removal of the word to describe them would be deemed appropriate behaviour.
How can they reconcile their belief in free speech with this.

They can't.

"Updating" so as to completely change the meaning of a quote from someone else is as much censorship as deleting swear-words from a novel, or banning a book completely.
