Shameful, sexist and just plain dangerous. The Trump Admin’s #GagRule shows that it cares more about political stunts than the 2.7 million Americans who rely on Planned Parenthood for basic, lifesaving healthcare every year. *I* was one of these Americans...
I was only able to pay for college through a heck of a lot of waitressing. But I needed to have a physical to even get that job. So I went to @PPact for that basic care, because that’s all I could afford on a student’s budget.
Donald Trump doesn’t seem to get what’s at stake. He doesn’t seem to care that he’s making it harder for predominantly low-income Americans to access the care they desperately need.
He refuses to acknowledge the 60,000 people Planned Parenthood serves in Illinois alone every year. The 7,000 Illinoisans who rely on its clinics for cancer screenings year in and year out.
To the President: #HowDareYou put partisan games over women’s health. How dare you risk lives to score points with your base. How dare you try to turn women into second-class citizens.
So from this former @PPact patient, let me just say this: no matter what Trump does, I will *never* stop working to ensure that every college student in need of a waitressing job, woman & American has the healthcare they need. It’s the least they deserve. chicagotribune.com/business/ct-bi…
