Today, the Trump-Pence administration makes their agenda crystal clear: they are laser-focused on using their power to control women’s bodies and lives.

The unnecessary anti-abortion bill moving through the House isn’t what people or doctors and clinicians want. #PatientsOverPolitics

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TARGETS MEDICAID AND POOR WOMEN WITH NEW ATTEMPT TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD

The Trump administration found a back-alley way to defund Planned Parenthood on Friday, allowing states to block the women's health organization from receiving any Medicaid funding.

The move would undo Obama-era guidelines that warned states that cutting off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood may violate federal law.

Trump officials said the move would return some power to the states from the federal government, which had an abortion rights agenda under President Barack Obama. "This is part of the Trump administration's effort to roll back regulations the Obama administration put out to radically favor abortion," said Charmaine Yoest, assistant Health and Human Services secretary for public affairs, reported The Hill.

Friday's announcement marks just the latest attempt from the Trump administration to defund Planned Parenthood—a key Trump campaign promise. In the first year of Trump's presidency, his administration has found a number of roundabout ways to target the organization, which included April legislation that gave states the right to withhold Title X funds from abortion providers................

March on Sun. and there are two marches tomorrow as well. The Women's March followed by Impeach The System March to "Unite Against T****'s Fascist Agenda" organized by WORD (Women Organized to Resist and Defend).

We are NOT going away as they thought and hoped would happen after the Women's March last year. WE ARE STRONGER than they ever imagined Stronger Together!
