Defend Women’s Health Initiative

To: Sen. Durbin, Pres. Trump, Sen. Duckworth, Rep. Bost

From: A verified voter in Willow Hill, IL

April 25

We are outraged and disgusted by the continued assault on women’s health by the Republican Party and the disgraceful administration that enables it. The recent decision to cut funding for the Women’s Health Initiative is not just short-sighted—it’s a deliberate attack on the wellbeing, autonomy, and lives of millions of women across this country. The so-called “party of life” has once again proven that their concern ends the moment a woman is born. They’ve shown time and again that they are willing to sacrifice cancer research, preventative care, maternal health programs, and essential medical services to score political points. Meanwhile, they spend obscene amounts of taxpayer dollars on Donald Trump’s golf trips and luxury indulgences—more than what many lifesaving programs ever receive. This is not just negligence. This is calculated cruelty. Every politician who continues to support or enable this treasonous administration is complicit in the suffering of real people. And we are done staying silent. We demand: • Immediate restoration of funding to the Women’s Health Initiative and related programs. • A full public accounting of where public health dollars are being spent. • An end to the politicization of healthcare. • Accountability and removal of every official who stands by while women’s health is attacked. Our bodies are not bargaining chips. Our lives are not expendable. We will not forget, and we will not forgive. Stand up now—or prepare to be voted out and held to account.
