The Christian nationalist Republican Party attacks women's freedom to force us to give birth.
But pregnancy & giving birth require expensive health care.
So why are Republicans cutting Medicaid coverage for ⚠️41%⚠️ of births?

I just used #resistbot to express my disdain on the GOP continuing resolution proposal. It stinks, & I told my congressional and senatorial representatives exactly that via e-mail. Please tell yours too - resistbot will do all the heavy lifting for you, it knows your reps and their contacts.

When even your mother reads you the riot act, are you qualified to lead others? An abuser of women, and a person with no moral foundation-among other deficits-should NOT be a Cabinet member. #PeteHegseth#unqualified#ShittyHuman#IkeaHasBetterCabinets
