These politicians need to hear from Alaskans loud & clear. Take a few minutes right now & let them know you wonโ€™t forget that they voted for power over people. These calls & e-mails will still be shared with lawmakers despite the shutdown.

Now, the federal government has shut down, due to the Trump administrationโ€™s attempt to make health care even more expensive & out of reach for everyday, hard-working people by letting Affordable Care Act tax credits lapse. We cannot let this happen quietly. (3/4)

Planned Parenthood health centers provide cancer screenings, STI testing & treatment, birth control & other essential care for people who have nowhere else to turn โ€” especially for folks who are low income or who live in rural communities.

This summer, our federal delegation chose politics over patients when they voted in support of the Big, Bad, Budget Bill (HR 1), which blocks patients who rely on Medicaid from using their coverage at Planned Parenthood. Because of these votes, thousands of Alaskans must pay the price. (1/4)

You are absolutely right that since mifepristone was FDA-approved for medication abortion, scientists have discovered many other uses for it. This is why we often say that anti-abortion cruelty impacts a lot more than just abortion (though that alone is unacceptable!).

Costco wonโ€™t sell abortion pill as religious investors declare win Costco Wholesale Corp. has decided not to dispense the abortion pill mifepristone at its more than 500 pharmacy locations.

Costco announced that they would not stock pharmacies with mifepristone, 1 of 2 medications used for abortions. Costco says this is due to lack of demand. Nonetheless, anti-abortion investors are celebrating this as their victory.

Trumpโ€™s efforts to defund Planned Parenthood threatens US healthcare system, study suggests Reproductive health giantโ€™s ability to treat patients at risk due to Republicansโ€™ plans to cut Medicaid reimbursements

Blocking people from using Medicaid at Planned Parenthood health centers will not only restrict access to essential care for those patients.

As new research from leading experts makes clear, the "defund" will harm the entire health care system.

Shame on you, Sens. Sullivan and Murkowski. You have failed Alaskans by putting extremist politics over the will of the people. This betrayal will cost lives, especially in rural Alaska where communities are already facing critical provider shortages. Alaskans will remember who voted to take away their care and their dignity.

Thousands of Alaskans called, e-mailed, and shared their personal stories urging Senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski to do the right thing. By voting to defund Planned Parenthood and slash Medicaid, they chose power over the health and dignity of the Alaskans they were elected to serve. (1/2)

Medicaid patients can still access care at Planned Parenthood. But if this dangerous bill becomes law, over 1 million patients who get care at Planned Parenthood could lose access to essential health care services like cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and more. (2/3)

Today, the U.S. Senate voted to advance the big bad budget bill, which will "defund" Planned Parenthood and block millions of people from accessing basic care through Medicaid and other public programs. The bill now heads for negotiation between the House and Senate. #ImForPP #IFightForPP (1/3)
