Florida #1 Anti Women Destination

women change their vacation plans
Tourism is one of the biggest industries in so many of the states pushing attacks on reproductive health. Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Michigan—all of them depend on tourism dollars, and all of them are on the front lines of the war on women.
Take Florida for example. For the last 3 years, Florida has been on the front lines in the War on Women. Mandatory ultrasounds. Budget cuts to rape crisis centers. Banning insurance coverage for abortion care. The list goes on.  
No politician wants to put one of their state's key industries at risk.
  Can you chip in to get this project off the ground?
