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.
If you don’t think they couldn’t have gotten Roe enshrined in law during that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. This is absolutely the type of legislation you have written up in advance for day one to immediately force it through if you have any sort of conscious or morality.
72 days. A new congress. A new president. And a MOMENTUS policy change? You’re rewriting history. Especially in 2009 when it was much less supported as a law BECAUSE of Roe V Wade. You’re just looking for reasons to hate the democrats and this tactic of going back to the short supermajority is sad and transparent.
That was also 15 years ago. Anything before then never would have flown.
Definitely. Think about it: people believed that Roe v. Wade was settled law. The Supreme Court said it was. Why would they waste valuable time making that a law?
Laws take months unless there’s a national emergency, and then all other work is stopped. Literally hundreds of people need to write, read, and decide on the specific wording of the text. It’s like writing a book by committee, for no reason, at the expense of other issues. Abortion doesn’t matter if people don’t have healthcare!
So as I was saying, I’ll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge for the low sum of $50,000!
And trust me, I don’t have to look for reasons to hate the DNC. Them being slightly less shit than the GOP does not make them good. It makes them slightly less shit.
hmm.
the gop wants me dead and eradicated from public life.
the democratic party doesn’t. in fact, they want to improve healthcare, education, working conditions, and immigration.
you: both are bad
You might want to read what I actually said
i did. it’s still wrong.
you do realize that the time period in 2009 when they had about 6 weeks of a supermajority, they had several anti-choice dems who wouldn’t have voted to enshrine roe into law, right??
like literally i’m BEGGING you to take a high school civics class and learn how the legislative branch works.
