The Trump administration just yesterday stopped a long running data gathering effort to study women's medical needs as they age. Decades of valuable information, blood samples interviews etc.

Fuck women right? Grab them by the pussy!

But not my daughter or my sister or my nieces or my mom. My sister in law might be interested though and her friend too, but that's a whole nother story.
