Maryland Will Protect Planned Parenthood From Trump's Cuts

THANKS TO A LAW THAT DONALD
TRUMP SIGNED, PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S FUNDING IS IN
SERIOUS JEOPARDY ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
SOME STATES ARE NOT
TAKING IT LYING DOWN.
MARYLAND JUST PASSED A LAW THAT WOULD
REFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD IF
CONGRESS DEFUNDED IT.
I WANT TO REPEAT THIS, FOR MANY PEOPLE
THAT IS THE ONLY CLINIC YOU CAN GO TO, IT IS NOT JUST AN
ABORTION FACTORY.
IT'S THE SOURCE OF HEALTHCARE FOR A LOT
OF
PEOPLE.
THE REASON I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT IS NOT BECAUSE IT
IS GREAT.
THE DAMAGE THAT DONALD
TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS CAN DO
ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS NOT SOMETHING WE SIMPLY HAVE TO
ACCEPT.
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN
YOUR LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS AND CAN PASS MEASURES LIKE THIS.
IT GOES BEYOND JUST PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
IN CALIFORNIA BILLS
ARE BEING CONSIDERED THAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE LAWS PASSED
NATIONALLY, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO RETAIN ARE MORE STRINGENT LAWS.
I KNOW IN THE SECOND HOUR YOU WILL BE TALKING ABOUT EXPANSION
FOR TUITION FREE COLLEGE.
ALL THIS ACTION IS HAPPENING ON THE
STATE LEVEL AND I THINK THAT IS
A GREAT SIGN CONSIDERING WHAT A BIG THREAT WE FACE.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR LOCAL POLITICIANS
ARE MORE LIKELY TO REPRESENT YOU
AND YOUR BEST INTEREST IF YOU ARE INVOLVED.
SO THESE ARE
THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO.
I THINK ONE OF THE
BIGGEST FAILURES OF THE ELECTORATE AND MEDIA IS THAT WE
FOCUS WAY TOO MUCH ON POLITICS ON A FEDERAL LEVEL.
WE COVER A
LOT OF NATIONAL NEWS HERE BUT AGAIN PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
WHAT IS HAPPENING ON A LOCAL
LEVEL.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW WHO THE INCUMBENT
POLITICIAN IS.
OFTENTIMES THE INCUMBENT JUST GETS REELECTED
AND DOESN'T GET CHALLENGED.
EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THOSE ISSUES
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE WILL LOOK
OUT FOR YOU.
IN CALIFORNIA THEY HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF ACTIONS
TAKEN TO MITIGATE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF TRUMPS ADMINISTRATION.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR
THE ENVIRONMENT AND UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE
DOING WHAT MAKES CALIFORNIA SUCH A GREAT STATE.
I HOPE YOU GUYS
ARE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.
I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT MARYLAND IS DOING THIS.
THIS
REMINDS ME OF WHEN TRUMP CUT THE
EPA BY 2 BILLION OR SOMETHING?
AND THEN DONATED $75,000 AND
MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.
IT'S LIKE REALLY JACKASS?
LET'S CALL IT EVEN.
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY PAY ATTENTION TO THE
ELECTIONS.
STATE-LEVEL ELECTIONS
ARE HAPPENING ALL THE TIME.
LOOK INTO WHO YOUR STATE
REPRESENTATIVES IS.
STATE LEGISLATURES ARE IMPORTANT.
WHO
IS RUNNING TO BE GOVERNOR FOR INSTANCE.
BUT YOU CAN ALSO RUN
AT THE STATE LEVEL.
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED, NOT
JUST THROUGH PROXY
POLITICIANS BUT ACTUALLY RUNNING AND CHAMPIONING LAWS THAT WILL
BE FORGOTTEN OR THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE PROGRESS ON.
WE
DON'T HAVE TO LAY DOWN AND TAKE
IT.
WE CAN STOP THE DAMAGE FROM BEING DONE.
WE ARE GOING TO
SPOTLIGHT AS MANY LAWS AS WE CAN, BUT WE WILL NEVER REALLY
MISS SOME.
UNDERSTAND THE FIGHT IS BEING WAGED AT THE
STATE
LEVEL.
