President Biden’s reelection campaign is preparing to highlight abortion rights in the lead-up to the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, CBS News has learned, seeking to tie the upcoming election to a “woman’s right to make her own health care decisions — including the very possible reality of a MAGA Republican-led national abortion ban.”
The extensive plans include ad buys, campaign rallies and events across the U.S. organized in lockstep with the Democratic National Committee, which will launch opinion pieces in local newspapers focusing on statewide abortion bans.
Ahead of the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision on Jan. 22, television and digital ads highlighting the personal impact of abortion restrictions will air in swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a Biden-Harris campaign official.
So…he waited to make this a reelection issue?
Implying he could have done anything else?
List the exact actions Biden could have actually taken between Roe being struck down and now that he “waited to do” to make it a reelection issue.
I swear Republicans will start imposing mandatory pregnancy tests at travel checkpoints between state borders and the white left will still find a way to make it the Democrats’ fault to justify not doing anything to stop the Republicans from coming back to power.
Fuckin’ porcelain-american shit.
This. This right fucking here that he waited till close to reelection is at least what he could have done. This article we are commenting on.
So you’re mad that he’s making it a campaign issue because he didn’t explicitly make it one beforehand, which he did, you just either didn’t read the news when he did or forgot he did it.
I’m as annoyed with Dems not being loud enough as the next guy but at a certain point it stops being their fault for being bad at communicating and yours for just refusing to listen.
The article itself in the headline calls out that this is an effort that he’s been contributing to and is publicizing a fresh push in.
Porcelain American Shit.
It’s heartening to hear that not everyone is not buying the Democrats bs.
Yeah…im not trying to ‘both sides’ this shit because obviously anything republican is a million times worse but…fucking come on.
How dare you criticize the Democrats at all! Do you want Trump?! /s
I’m a far leftist and I’m so tired of Blue MAGA defending everything the Democrats fail to do.
Of course he did. The dems have had many chances to enshrine Roe v Wade in law. They just always decided that holding it over everyone’s head as a “look what they’ll do if you don’t vote for us!” was more valuable thsn doing the bare fucking minimum of the right thing.
When have Dems had a chance to secure it into law? They need the House and Senate, plus the President. When was the last time they had that by not a 1-2 margin? Because margins that tight are asking for assholes like Manchin or Sinema to make it all about them and there are still moderately conservative democrats.
As others said, dem supermajority during Obama’s first term. He campaigned on it, then gave a speech after getting elected saying it wasn’t their highest priority. A few months later Kennedy died and they lost their chance. As an aside, Pelosi should be fucking ashamed for this - but she has no shame.
Could have pushed hard for it during the first 2 years of Biden’s presidency as well, and bullied Manchin/Sinema into going along or losing their seat. But that would mean change, which is the one thing Biden promised he wouldn’t do. And so here we are, another election year, another bullshit campaign promise of something they might do if we elect them again. (Narrator: they won’t do it.)
Most recently? The supermajority in 2009. The DNC is not your friend. Neolibs are not your friend. They’re simply the least shit option at the moment.
Dems have been over-performing compared to polls by like 9 points since Roe was overturned. They’re not gonna give up that kind of advantage to secure women’s rights!
It’s a reminder that I think a lot of people need. The core of the dem platform is still neolib dogshit. It’s absolutely less awful than the gop “platform”, and I will absolutely be doing whatever I can to keeo those fucks out of office, but that doesn’t mean the dems are your best friend.
