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.
First time the bill almost passed it included yays by Democrats like Adam Schiff. This says 15 Democrats still voted for it. Won’t be long before humanitarian nonprofits are labeled terrorist organizations for sending food to kids.
It’s not like you can get fined for given food to homeless people in the USA already in places. This won’t be abused /s
I’ll take small wins where I can: That 15 is down from something like 57 from last time. Reach out to your Senators in mass numbers. Let your voice be heard. We cannot know the impact that will have unless we try.
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.
This is done in the primaries.
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.
