Now Women Know Why the Senate Wrote Their Health Care Bill in Secret
Planned Parenthood is under attack like never before. After weeks of secret negotiations behind closed doors, Senator Mitch McConnell and his exclusively-male health care working group just released a disastrous piece of legislation that would "defund" Planned Parenthood--putting the 2.4 million people who rely on Planned Parenthood for essential health services at risk.

The Senate's Trumpcare bill closely mirrors the House's mean-spirited version, which passed in May. McConnell wants to force the bill through the Senate--with no hearings and barely any time for Americans to read it, let alone understand it.
"If this is the Senate's idea of a bill with heart, then the women of America should have fear struck in theirs." Take Action: Call now and tell your senators to Stop. This. Bill. Let's keep their phones ringing off the hook.
What's in the Trumpcare bill?
It's no wonder Republicans wrote their health care bill in secret--here's what this catastrophic legislation does:
How does Trumpcare impact people's health?
- Blocks Americans' access to preventive care at Planned Parenthood--a devastating impact for the 2.4 million people who rely on these health centers for essential health services.
- Results in reduced access to care for patients who live in areas where Planned Parenthood is the only health care option.
- Will most affect people of color, those with low incomes, and folks in rural areas
We must fight Trumpcare like hell
Now is the time for every person who cares about women's health to speak out and join this fight. According to Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood:
If this is the Senate's idea of a bill with heart, then the women of America should have fear struck in theirs.
Slashing Medicaid and blocking millions of women from getting preventive care at Planned Parenthood is beyond heartless. One in five women in this country rely on Planned Parenthood for care. They will not stay silent as politicians vote to take away their care and their rights.
It's clear that the American people strongly oppose blocking women from going to Planned Parenthood for preventive care. We must be louder than ever so that politicians finally start listening to us.
We are at a crossroads
This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. In a few short weeks, US voters will have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news. Our Fall Campaign is underway, and we need your help. To power our newsroom through the rest of the year, we need to raise $125,000 by midnight on October 31. So if you share our vision, please contribute whatever you can to sustain our work. |
