The House passed a bill allowing the president to revoke nonprofits’ tax-exempt status if deemed terrorist-supporting, which critics, including Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, argue could threaten healthcare services like cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, abortion care, and gender-affirming care; as the bill moves to the Senate, Planned Parenthood warns of potential funding cuts affecting public healthcare.

The ACLU and reproductive rights groups like Planned Parenthood of America vocally opposed the bill and tried to warn lawmakers of the dangers.

      They just lost to Trump cause they couldn’t bother listening to voters. I love your optimism, but I say its time we kick em to the curb and get some real progressives.

        I agree. However, the Democrat name still has respect. I say we reform the party by keeping the name and replacing the old fools who seem so intent on learning the wrong lessons.
