Biden campaign puts abortion rights front and center as it plans to tie Trump to abortion bans
The Biden campaign will hit the airwaves in battleground states with its first abortion-focused ad of the year, featuring stark, emotional testimony from a woman personally affected by a state abortion ban who lays the blame directly on former President Donald Trump.
The Biden campaign will hit the airwaves in battleground states with its first abortion-focused ad of the year, featuring stark, emotional testimony from a woman personally affected by a state abortion ban who lays the blame directly on former President Donald Trump.
It comes as the campaign is launching a full-court press this week to put abortion rights front and center in the 2024 race, including with events headlined by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The push marks the campaign’s first organized effort to emphasize the issue, seeking to further galvanize voters around reproductive rights in the first presidential election after the Supreme Court ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion.
The new TV spot also follows Biden’s ramped-up attacks against Trump in the opening weeks of the year, portraying him as a direct threat to democracy. It’s part of the campaign’s efforts to warn of Trump’s plans and positions ahead of a possible matchup in November.
That surprised me.
Good to see a Catholic recognize we are not all of their creed yet still wants to use WE THE PEOPLE
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The minutelong ad, titled “Forced” and shared first with CNN, features an emotional direct-to-camera testimonial from Dr. Austin Dennard, a Texas OB-GYN and mother who traveled out of her state, which has a strict abortion ban, to terminate her pregnancy after learning her fetus had a fatal condition.
Harris, who has emerged as the administration’s foremost voice on abortion, will on Monday kick off a reproductive freedoms tour in Wisconsin, a battleground state Democrats are looking to defend.
The contraception-focused actions include new guidance from the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury aimed at strengthening access to all forms of contraception at no cost under the Affordable Care Act.
EMTALA, a federal Medicare law requiring hospitals to provide stabilizing care to emergency room patients regardless of their ability to pay, is at the center of one of the biggest abortion cases before the nation’s highest court this year.
The Biden administration also is bracing for another high-stakes reproductive care decision from the Supreme Court, which will decide whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug known as mifepristone.
Dennard, a mother of three, has shared her story in detail in a Texas courthouse, in congressional hearings and at the White House, where she met with first lady Jill Biden last summer.

Trump wasn't the president in June of 2022. That's when Roe V Wade was reversed. This happened under Biden's watch. Democrats have failed time and time again to do something to enshrine abortion rights when they've had the opportunity. Why would I believe that they are actually going to do something this time around?
Here's how the future's going to go if Biden gets elected. They'll spend the next 4 years not protecting abortion rights, and then a republican's going to get elected in 2028, and completely destroy abortion rights federally. Democrats will continue to con you into voting for them by faking a promise to bring back abortion rights.
Shit's going to get far fucking worse before it's going to get better.
The President didn't repeal Roe v Wade. The Trump Supreme Court did that.
As long as morons help Republicans by not voting Democrat, they're going to continue turning this country into North Korea.
You don’t get it. EVERYTHING you say is the same talking points from democrats for the past 40 years, at least.
They need to reinsert their back bone and fight for things their voters care about.
It’s not my fault that Biden is a center right corporate politician who needs to be in a fucking assisted living center. And frankly, I don’t really care if you think that it is.
If i am not offered a candidate who is left of center. See you in hell I guess.
Do you think Roe v Wade was overturned by executive order or something?
