The #TrumpBudget is more than numbers on a page. It lays out an agenda to strip away people’s rights and health care. #HandsOff

Here’s what the plan would do. [Thread]
Gut both the Affordable Care Act and the #Medicaid program — the insurance plan for one in five women of reproductive age. For these women, Medicaid makes the difference between access to basic care, like birth control — or doing without.
Threaten 2.4 million people’s access to birth control, lifesaving cancer screenings, and other preventive care at Planned Parenthood health centers.
Eliminate the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program — but continue ineffective abstinence-only-until-marriage funding.
Double down on policies allowing health care workers to deny information and care to women and #LGBTQ people.
Attempt to ban constitutionally guaranteed access to safe and legal abortion for immigrants in ICE detention facilities.
Slash international funding for family planning by over 50% and emphasize “natural birth control” techniques such as the rhythm method over other, more effective methods.
Last year, the FY18 #TrumpBudget was a roadmap for the harmful administrative actions they took all year — and today, it's clear that the Trump administration values neither our health nor our rights. #HandsOff
