Today President Trump signed legislation that will allow states to defund abortion providers. He has allowed states to cut federal funding to places like Planned Parenthood. This legislation was signed without debate. This legislation was signed behind closed doors, with no cameras.
Many people don’t understand the term “Pro-Choice.” I want to assure everyone that Pro-Choice does not mean Pro-Abortion. Someone who is Pro-Choice is someone who believes the government has no right to tell women what they can and can’t do with their bodies. As the saying goes, “My body, my choice.”
The legislation signed today will go under the radar and behind the scenes. Nevertheless, this legislation will make healthcare for women, especially women of poverty, less safe. It will defund programs that help all women be safer, smarter, and more secure. President Trump has tried to let this groundbreaking bill go quietly. But we will stand up. We will not let something this loud go this quietly. The closed doors of the White House cannot keep out a revolution.
