Biden’s top priority for a second term: restoring abortion rights
Biden’s top priority for a second term: restoring abortion rights
“It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Biden's deputy campaign manager said.

“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.
Biden has been poised to run on what has been described as the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate as he and his allies look to notch a victory in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
Last month, Biden seized on a case in Texas, where a woman, Kate Cox, was denied an abortion despite the risk to her life posed by her pregnancy.
“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”
Party spent decades not codifying it...
Didn't fight for Obama's SC seat, just accepted that the next president would pick it to try and help Clinton...
Took no actions since Roe was overturned...
But we're supposed to believe next term it'll be fixed?
They haven't even held a vote yet so voters will know what Dems are going to vote against it.
Why would anyone take Bidens word on this? Isn't the safe bet to assume the same thing will happen as the last campaign promises? Meaning as soon as he assumes office Biden will either "look into it" or he'll say there's not enough D votes so he can't try.
And the voters still won't know if their representatives would actually support party platform.
The right says that banning guns and drugs would not help as they would be on the black market. I wonder when they would come to realize the same situation with abortion.
They did nothing when the decision was leaked.
Nothing when it was official.
Nothing in the years since.
Why?So they could use it as campaign chip in this election.
Fuck off.Both parties use their constituency as pawns, rather than employers. It's why we all need to support Represent Us and the Forward Party who are trying to make our representatives actually represent us.
Just like he did everything in his power to
tackle student loanssend weapons to israel."Restoring Roe isn’t the only item on Biden’s to-do list. In a second term, the president would aim to “finish the job,” on a slate of priorities his administration has already begun pushing for, Fulks said, including banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines, cutting the cost of insulin and expanding student loan forgiveness."
This all sounds like shit he should have done in his first term if he wanted Dems to have any faith in him whatsoever.
Expand the Supreme Court. Place justices that will restore roe v wade. Reverse Citizens United.
I mean, if you're really interested in preserving American democracy.
We've been hearing this song and dance for 50 years. At this point the only ones that would fall for it again are in no position to be voting
Well, last time his top priority was 15$ minimum wage.
Fucking Pathetic.
If this is Biden’s top priority, we know it won’t happen.
Just like Trump’s campaign released a statement saying that Trump does not have offensive body odor. We now can confirm that Trump has offensive body odor.
We can also confirm that Biden will do nothing for the rest of his presidency to do anything about abortion rights as well.
Democrats are even more pathetic than republicans. At least republicans actually fight for what they want, even if what they want is stupid shit.
Democrats are fucking pussies.
