Women's March 1950's

Today the Trump Administration and Congress doubled down on their dangerous agenda for women’s health.

First, in a Rose Garden ceremony, President Donald Trump signed an executive order squarely aimed at rolling back the Affordable Care Act’s guarantee of birth control coverage. While it was less sweeping than the leaked draft order that circulated months ago, make no mistake: It is a license to discriminate. It means that soon a woman and her family could lose birth control coverage — an employment benefit she has earned —simply because her boss has a religious objection to it. Women could be literally paying for their bosses’ religious beliefs.

Then, just down the street, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA) — the Affordable Care Act repeal bill championed by the President. The bill would threaten access to health care for millions of people, with the burden falling hardest on people with disabilities, LGBT people, low-income people, communities of color, and, yes, women. It would block patients from accessing care at Planned Parenthood, gut coverage requirements for maternity care, and put even more restrictions on coverage for abortion care. In short, it would make it harder for women to access the care they need, whether they seek to prevent or terminate a pregnancy, to have a healthy pregnancy, or to raise a healthy family.

Taken together, these two actions roll back many of the strides the ACA made toward eliminating discrimination against women seeking health care.....[listed]....

1. Boy, I am SO GLAD that IVANKA has our backs (insert sarcastic tone here).

2. I am mystified that he cleared 5% among women

The fact that so many women DID vote for Trump despite all we knew about him and that was revealed about him is staggering.

Women need to send an enormous wave message to Trump and the GOP in 2018, and if they cannot, then we can all bend over and kiss over assessment goodbye.
