Women stage "Handmaid's Tale"-inspired protest outside Capitol to fight against GOP ObamaCare repeal






A crowd of 30 Planned Parenthood volunteers dressed as women from "The Handmaid's Tale" descended on the Capitol building Tuesday in protest against the Senate GOP's healthcare bill.

Fern Whyland, communications director at Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts, said the bill would "devastate" women.

"It would be the worst bill for women in generations and decimate women's healthcare. It's a healthcare bill with no healthcare," she said.
