RBG was the second woman to serve, the first Jewish woman and the first woman to be appointed by a Democrat. She was a pioneer in legal fights for women's rights. In addition, Ginsburg was known as moderate-to-conservative on criminal matters and had a different rationale for supporting Roe v. Wade than most liberals. She considered laws banning abortion a form of sex discrimination rather than a violation of privacy.

In 1968, Ginsburg represented Charles Moritz, a man who had never been married and claimed a tax deduction for caring for his mother, according to Smithsonian Magazine. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) denied his deduction because he was a man and unmarried. The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled that the IRS had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution and in 1971 Section 214 of the IRS Code was amended to allow individuals to claim caregiving deductions, regardless of sex.

Supreme Court Justices of 1993

Up until 1979, jury duty was considered optional for women in the US. Several states argued that women should be exempt from participating due to family and household obligations. Ginsburg fought to require women to serve on juries on the basis that their civic duty should be valued the same as men’s.
There is a quote from Ruth Ginsburg that show how much this law is so important for women.

"The time when men and women share the responsibility of nurturing the next generation, we will be able to say that women have achieved true equality."

Ginsburg’s work paved the way for the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which passed in1974 and allowed women to apply for bank accounts, credit cards, and mortgages without a male co-signer. She also helped ensure that women could receive the same military housing allowances as men, and women are no longer required to pay more for pension plans than men to receive the same benefits, according to the ACLU.

Susan Deller Ross and Ginsburg of the ACLU Women's Rights Project advocated for pregnancy discrimination to be recognized as a form of sex discrimination. Following that, a 1978 amendment to Title VII declares pregnancy discrimination illegal. Women are now better protected under the law from being fired or not considered for a job because they are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

In 1996, Ginsburg led the ruling decision in the United States v. Virginia case. Until then, women had been prohibited from attending the Virginia Military Institute. Ginsburg argued that rather than create a separate women’s program, they should be allowed to join the same program as men.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not clear about RBG’s very first course of action, but the case of the United States v. Virginia dates back to her first years as the Supreme Court. In 1996, the Supreme Court of the United States fought against the traditional male-only admission policy of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in a 7-1 decision. This case was brought forward due to the violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause. The VMI proposed a solution to satisfy the equal protection rights requirements: they suggested a parallel institute to be built for women only. However the VMI refused to provide women with the same type of rigorous military training, facilities, courses, faculty, financial opportunities, and alumni reputation and connections that VMI affords male cadets. The Court ruled that segregated law schools in Texas were unconstitutional. Following the ruling, VMI contemplated going private to exempt itself from the 14th Amendment, and thus this ruling. VMI was the last public all-male university in the United States.

In 1996, the year she was chosen to be part of the Supreme court, she made a huge difference for the discriminated and marginalized community of LGBTQ+ people. This is known in the case of Romer v. Evans, where there was a court discussion about Colorado's homophobic Amendment 2, which prohibited the government from protecting members of the LGBTQ+ community when they were discriminated. Justice Ginsburg as well as Justice Kennedy, has stated that this Amendment goes against the Fourteenth Amendment of Equal Protection. After a long discussion, the US Supreme Court overturned the Amendment, with Justice Ginsburg leaving with this one quote, “the amendment seems inexplicable by anything but animus toward the class that it affects; it lacks a rational relationship to legitimate state interests' '.

This is the court case of Lawrence v. Texas, where there was a ban in order to criminalize homosexuality. Justice Ginsburg was on the side of the majority, saying that having this ban in place would be deemed unconstitutional, as it “demeans the lives of homosexual persons” and that it “was not correct when it was decided, and is not correct today”.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s husband, Martin, died of cancer on June 27, 2010. She described Martin as her biggest booster and supporter. Married for 56 years, as a couple, they were said to be quite different. Martin determined that the reason for their successful union was the fact that RBG "...doesn’t give me any advice about cooking and I don’t give her any advice about the law.”

One example from 2013, is Hollingsworth v. Perry. Both were cases concerning marriage equality from opposite-sex marriage to same-sex marriage. Hollingsworth focused on California’s Proposition 8, where same-sex marriage was banned. Justice Ginsburg, Justice Kennedy, and the majority went against this Proposition, which led to their glorious win. The people who this RBG fought for— Kristin Perry and Sanda Stier— soon got married at the Pride Festival in 2013.

Another change RBG made for the LGBTQ+ community is also in 2013, along with the Hollingsworth v. Perry, is Windsor v. U.S. Windsor addressed the federal ban on recognizing marriage called the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA. Justice Ginsburg has stated that DOMA denies same-sex couples equal rights as they would for opposite-sex couples. Because of Justice Ginsburg's conviction, the court ruled DOMA unconstitutional as it violates the Fourteenth Amendment of Equal Protection Clause.

By 2014, in Ginsburg's late 80s, she had become a pop culture icon. It is then where she got her notorious nickname: RBG.

After sending her a congratulation letter in 1993 for being appointed to the Supreme Court, he sent another letter asking if she could marry the couple ext time she came to the city. She agreed and asked them to pick a date. “Ralph looked at me and said ‘what do you think about a destination wedding? Justice Ginsburg has agreed to marry us.’ And I was totally floored,” said Wernz. They view her as a hero for both of them, a strong powerful female lawyer, Professor, and Justice.

In 2015 a big case she worked on for the LGBTQ+ community is in the Obergefell v. Hodges. This court was to strike down state bans on marriage for LGBTQ+ couples and to extend their marriage rights. Justice Ginsburg, siding with the majority, strongly stated that the fundamental right to be married is not only for other legal couples but also applies to same-sex couples by the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. Justice Ginsburg has made many oral arguments, all of them impactful enough for the court to overturn this ban; she left the court with this quote: “All of the incentives, all of the benefits that marriage affords would still be available. So you’re not taking away anything from heterosexual couples. They would have the very same incentive to marry, all the benefits that come with marriage that they do now”.

2016--> Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaking out about the Texas HB2 law

# data[].attributes.body
After the 2016 Texas HB2 law was established, Ginsburg decided to speak out about it and pointed out about how “pregnancy discrimination is sex discrimination”. She thinks women should have the privilege to get abortions without being discriminated against, and the Texas law should be banned. Because of this, many people were influenced and society praised her as an icon with the name “Notorious RBG”.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Supreme Court's decision invalidating key components of HB2, a Texas law imposing draconian regulations on abortion clinics, gave reproductive rights advocates almost everything they could have wanted. Justice Stephen Breyer's majority opinion in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt clearly declares that Texas' TRAP law imposes an unconstitutional "undue burden" on women's ability to terminate their pregnancies. His opinion, however, is also somewhat dry-in classic Breyer fashion-and treads lightly in criticizing Texas' assertion that it must regulate abortion clinics out of existence in order to "protect women's health."

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg signed onto Breyer's decision-but in a separate concurrence, she provided a decidedly blunter assessment of Texas' anti-abortion argument. "The Texas law called H. B. 2 inevitably will reduce the number of clinics and doctors allowed to provide abortion services," Ginsburg explained. "Texas argues that H. B. 2's restrictions are constitutional because they protect the health of women who experience complications from abortions. In truth, 'complications from an abortion are both rare and rarely dangerous' "-as demonstrated in an amicus brief by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

"Many medical procedures, including childbirth, are far more dangerous to patients, yet are not subject to ambulatory surgical-center or hospital admitting-privileges requirements," Ginsburg continued, including "tonsillectomy, colonoscopy, and in-office dental surgery." Then the justice spelled out the core of the Whole Woman's Health holding-and provided a warning to other states eager to repeat Texas' attempt to cut back on abortion rights in the name of protecting women. (Ginsburg quotes Judge Richard Posner's abortion opinion from November; I've excised the quotes for clarity.)

Given [these] realities, it is beyond rational belief that H. B. 2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions. When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners, faute de mieux, at great risk to their health and safety. So long as this Court adheres to Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers laws like H. B. 2 that do little or nothing for health, but rather strew impediments to abortion, cannot survive judicial inspection.

Shorter RBG: It's a new day in abortion jurisprudence-and if you red-state lawmakers thought you could sneak these junk-science anti-abortion laws past me and my court, think again.

While Ginsburg is well known for being a strong feminist, she may be also be considered iconic for immigration rights. The key action she has taken recently throughout the years is she voted to block the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the Census in 2019. She also sided with the majority of the court, ruling that the Trump administration had improperly terminated the DACA program. The actions she took about immigration rights showed how she believes everyone no matter their ethnicities and background are allowed in the country of the United States.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an associate justice of the Supreme Court, has been selected as this year's recipient of the Liberty Medal, the National Constitution Center announced Wednesday.

According to Jeffrey Rosen, head of the NCC, Ginsburg will be the subject of a special video tribute in words and music to be broadcast live on Constitution Day, Sept. 17.

The award makes special mention of her lifelong efforts to advance liberty and equality. Past recipients include Muhammad Ali, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Nelson Mandela. Last year's recipient was former Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy.

The program in Ginsburg's honor will feature performances by internationally known opera singers and tributes from some of her "special friends," the NCC said. It will be produced by NBCUniversal.

Known for her sharp legal opinions and forceful dissents - especially on behalf of women's rights - Ginsburg is the first Jewish woman to serve on the Supreme Court. She was inducted late last year into the Only in America Hall of Fame at Philadelphia's National Museum of American Jewish History and was the subject of the popular "Notorious RBG" exhibition there.

Rosen spent many hours over the last several years discussing Ginsburg's views on a range of subjects. His book Conversations With RBG: Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Life, Love, Liberty, and Law was published late last year.

Ginsburg, 87, announced in July that she had had a cancer recurrence, and was also hospitalized that month for what the Supreme Court described as a minimally invasive bile duct stent "revision." She will not travel to Philadelphia to receive the honor.
