After the U.S. House voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and block patients from care at Planned Parenthood on May 4, supporters flooded their representatives' districts offices with pink — Planned Parenthood pink!

When Paul Ryan and his out-of-touch allies in the House forced through the worst bill for women in a generation, they set off a spark of outrage among reproductive rights advocates. People who support the ACA and access to care at Planned Parenthood took to the streets.

Across the country, reproductive rights advocates powerfully rallied to demonstrate that they'll hold any member of Congress accountable for voting against health care access. Here are just a few highlights.
