Statement by Feminist Majority President, Eleanor Smeal:
Today, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released a draft of the Senates healthcare bill that shamelessly targets women: pregnant women trying to access maternal and pre-natal healthcare; elderly women that make up two-thirds of nursing home patients; the women who make up two-thirds of all Medicaid recipients; and young women trying to access reproductive healthcare.
