Another protest based on a lie. This time it's that Donald Trump is supposedly against women.

Well sure, you can discuss it at length and the other 100's/probably 1000's of other proposed legislation in the early stages that haven't hit even hit the debate stage/floor/give and take and meet in the middle place in the end 99.9% of the time. So go for it, your right of course. My point is I just choose not to get worked up over things on forums on such matters in the ultra early stages that I've discovered is often sold on agenda driven "news" sites that may or may not be true, but that's me. Though I think the media peddling lots of this stuff loves you for your approach as it sells advertising.

So have you ever worked on a Sunday? I think that one means stoning to death. How about ever talked back to your parents? Or eaten a shrimp? Those are punishable by death according to scripture.

I don't get it myself. Why is it a woman's issue?

It seems like there are an awful lot of men who want to be a woman.

I am not even saying that to be rude. It seems to be trendy.

The question was why did we march, well one of the answers to that is to make sure that those who vote on that bill know that 4 million voters are paying attention to how they vote.
Too late, the ideal/key time for that was on election day when the vast majority of woman in this nation voted for trump. But more power to you to try whatever you/others are trying to do after the horse is out of the barn as judging by the signs, yelling, violence and profanity, I still have no idea what many of those "protestors" want.

I don't think I/others should be funding others health costs no matter what it's for. Me want?.....me pay.
You have some kind of rose colored glasses on that romanticize health care costs before the ACA

In August 2008, about six months before debate began in Washington on what would become the Affordable Care Act, 82 percent of Americans were so dissatisfied with the U.S. health care system they wanted it overhauled, according to The Commonwealth Fund, which commissioned the poll.
Quote:
50 million were uninsured.
Economy was burdened by health care expenses.
For years we have been spending far more for health care – on both a per capita basis and as a percent of Gross Domestic Product, than any other country.
By spending so much on health care, we have less to spend on things like education, our transportation system and other infrastructure needs. Conversely, other countries can spend more in those areas, giving them a global competitive advantage.
Hundreds of thousands were caught in job lock.
Note: Up to 129 million Americans – that’s nearly one in two people – could be discriminated against because of a pre-existing condition like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, or for that matter pregnancy or even something as ridiculous as acne.

Lots of Americans were one catastrophic illness away from bankruptcy due to medical debt.

They're afraid of being dragged around by their hair after they just got back from the salon.

Not sure about "rights," going yet. I think it's more of a loss of dignity. Having a pus*y grabbing president who laughs about it and his wife saying it's "boy talk" does tend to rather debase women. Wanting to de-fund Planned Parenthood would put a serious dent in women's health care, esp. for women of less financial means. It doesn't say much about what they think of women.

Medicaid. Plus Medicaid affordable health care act flavors that exist in many states.

Where were the marchers/protestors on the topic that Camaro69 two posts up mentions plus other woman that came forward in the court of law? Actions speak louder than words, right? It all rings hollow/hypocritical, selective outrage.

As a woman who has been on the planet awhile, through the, very necessary, women's movement, I do not get what these protesters are talking about. I seriously doubt that most of them do either.
