Open Letter
Within the first hours of taking office you and your dictator have made nightmares a
reality as you take away women's rights with one swift movement of a pen. How dare you, how
dare every single one of you believe that you have the right to decide what a woman can or
cannot do with her own body. I had hoped that the fears of every woman in this country would
remain as such, just a distant whisper of what if; instead our reality has become warped as a
jury of white men that have never felt oppression decide that we are not capable enough to think
for ourselves. How can this administration even hold such power as you defund an organization
on the basis that they promote so called acts against god? Reality and a simple look at the truth
reveal that abortions performed legally have never been paid for or promoted by Planned
Parenthood. In Fact the number of men and women worldwide provided with sexual and
reproductive health care as well as education and outreach by Planned Parenthood in a single
year is over 4 million, when this is compared to the number of abortions performed in the same
amount of time your facts are unmasked as fraud as less than 200 thousand abortions are
performed in actuality, making this procedure only 3% of the total services provided by Planned
Parenthood. With the truth spreading like a heroic wildfire how can this unqualified group of
racists and bigots maintain your front of so called godly conquest? What excuse can you hide

behind as taxpayer dollars are no longer and have never been the issue? With having seen the
current state of our nation as hate crimes surged up to 202 incidents daily by November 9th, I
can sadly say that this is no fever dream, instead it is a time to unite and act against your
fairytale-like villany. It is time that we the people become the heroes of our own story and take
back our kingdom from your so called chosen leader. As America and the rest of the world
fight against you, you will have to open your eyes and realize just how out numbered you are, as
the Women's March proved that the 5 million people worldwide who oppose all of you will not
be silenced. In a time of uncertainty people alike join together to march against you and all of the
injustices you promote and donate to wrongly defunded safe havens, now is the time that we the
people will rise together and change the history books for the better.
Sincerely,
