There are a few of us who use this tag already and I would like to see it used more widely, and I hope many other Kossacks join us in this effort.
There are at present 10 bills in the House and Senate designed to attack our rights, our safety, our health and put our very lives in danger by neglect.

Mr Pence is aiming to stop Planned Parenthood, a reproductive care organisation, receiving federal funds.
Planned Parenthood offers services including contraception, gynaecological and breast exams, and family planning, but is a favoured target for the anti-abortion lobby because it is America's leading provider of abortions.

Anti-abortion activists have long had Planned Parenthood in their sights, keeping an almost constant vigil of protesters outside their clinics.

What none of them do is to promote women's health.
It is indeed a war on women.
