If you are a woman and vote for a Republican I can only ask ‘what the f**k is wrong with you?’ Every GOP politician, including the few women in congress, have voted against every bill which would positively affect every woman in our country.

Let’s take a look at Obamacare. Trump continues his attempts to repeal healthcare for millions of Americans, and who will be affected the most? That’s right, women.

Many of you may not remember that before the Affordable Care Act became law, health insurance was far more costly for women than for men. Women were spending approximately one-billion dollars more than men each year. Much of this fact is based on the refusal of insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. Among other health issues which forced the insurance industry to cover health problems which existed prior to receiving health coverage was pregnancy.

If you are an old fart, such as myself, you have no idea about the cost of having a baby in the 21^st century. The average today is $8,802 per child without complications.

Women have been the target of the right wing for decades. Their support of the Christian religious right continues to threaten the lives of tens-of-thousands of women each year. Women will continue to have abortions regardless of whether or not Roe v Wade continues to remain law.

Trump has admitted that he believes that women have a single purpose; to serve men. He is a confirmed sexual predator, and his criticism of Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel and other respected women is based on his belief that women are inferior. He supports the repeal of Obamacare without replacing this necessary healthcare law, and his choices for Supreme Court nominees reveals his intention to repeal Roe v Wade.

We must return control of our government to Independents and Democrats. We can take our country back in November. Please vote.
