Feminist Quotes To Put On Your Healthcare Rally Sign This Saturday

Though so far the Republican party's efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare have been unsuccessful, that hasn't stopped them from continuing to present more, equally disastrous legislation that threatens the healthcare of millions of Americans across the country. In response to those threats, this week The Women's March announced a rally on Saturday in partnership with Our Lives On The Line, a pro-Obamacare group that's working to increase action against the Republican health care bill. The organizations are encouraging supporters to "show up on a busy street corner" on Saturday and "make some noise" about the disaster that is the GOP bill. Instead of organizing one unified march, the idea is to provide a space for supporters from anywhere to stand up and have their voices be heard.

"That's what we're about — showing that whoever we are, wherever we live, we will persist, together, in preventing this administration from harming us, our families, and vulnerable people in our communities," the Women's March organizers stated in the press release about the rally.

The GOP completely shut women out of its drafting of the healthcare bill and was foiled in it's last attempt by three of it's own women. Being a women under the GOP's healthcare bill would come with many obstacles and tremendous costs. The fight for healthcare is a feminist issue that affects everyone.
