Today’s Action: Stop the GOP from destroying a women’s right to choose
Women’s abortion rights and access to affordable, lifesaving healthcare is under serious threat with GOP attacks coming from all angles. Last week, Trump announced his intention to cut off Title X federal funding for family planning to any clinic that also provides abortion services, and even to healthcare professionals who provide advice about those clinics.
What would this look like? Planned Parenthood alone serves 41% of the patients who benefit from the $260 million Title X funding. If Trump is successful, Planned Parenthood will lose ALL federal funding and 41% of Title X recipients are about to lose – not just abortion access – but their primary source of healthcare.
Losing ‘lifesaving’ healthcare access is not hyperbole: To be blunt, Trump’s cuts will result in more women dying.
Meanwhile, GOP legislators at the state level have made serious attacks against abortion rights as well. Iowa recently passed a “heartbeat” law, banning all abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected — usually around 6 weeks and before most women know they are even pregnant. Mississippi and Kentucky recently passed similar laws.
The GOP goal is to pass legislation that’s then challenged in court, hoping one will make its way to the Supreme Court and ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade. Their strategy has precedent — which is why we must work now to prevent the other state laws from passing.
Email or call (202.224.3121) your Congressional and State reps, and demand they protect abortion access at the state level, and stand up to Trump’s federal cuts. Throwbacks to the 70’s are great on the radio, not in women’s bodies.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition telling the Justice Department to reject Trump’s “hereby demand” for baseless investigation into Obama administration, and join the Americans demanding Congress protect Dreamers NOW!
