Opinion: We need another July 4 uprising to protect women’s health
The Trump administration is dead set on eroding women's access to essential health care. Women must fight back.
Congressional opponents of the Affordable Care Act and reproductive health — with support from the White House — spent the majority of last year attempting to repeal the act and cut off people’s access to Planned Parenthood. Yet when members of Congress went home last year for the July 4 recess, women spoke out and rallied against the Obamacare repeal efforts.
Through letters, calls, and rallies, they made it clear to their elected officials that the ACA was the greatest health advancement for women in a generation and Planned Parenthood is an essential source of care.
