U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono , 393,000 followers: “As an advocate for abortion rights for decades, I fear that women in this country will soon wake up and realize they no longer have control over their own bodies. We must continue to raise our voices and fight back against @realDonaldTrump and Republicans’ harmful policies.”Alabama Governor Kay Ivey , 35,200 followers: “Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act.
