5. Everybody's needs are important

Anybody calling for this? We all need to dig in our high heels and fight Trump/GOP with everything we got. I'm for certain that Republicans are going to make a run at Planned Parenthood funding, which will have to be fought. I doubt that Democrats are going to let that go through. Repealing ACA is at the top of the GOP's wishlist but they haven't gotten themselves together on it and Democrats aren't surrendering. Nobody's needs should be sacrificed to fight Trump. There won't be much Democrats or anybody can do to move the needle forward but I don't think that anybody wants to see women's rights/needs take a step backwards either.
