None of this screams election year pandering with a hint of desperation.
They’ve used this playbook year after year, strong push for women’s rights during election year, and until the day of the election when it all gets neatly tucked away back into their box of hollow platitudes. Dusted off when the next cycle come around.
If you have any other ideas besides the ones linked above of what the president can do to protect reproductive rights with executive actions alone I’d like to hear them.
And with a republican president at the helm instead? They could wreak havoc with basically opposite orders of everything in that linked list, even in the states where it’s legal. Or sign a republican federal law banning abortion nationwide. Like, just look at what states are passing laws to protect reproductive rights and what states are doing the opposite, there’s obviously a party trying to protect abortion access and one trying to eliminate it.
Criticize away that democrats didn’t use that few weeks in 2009 or the last super majority before that in 1979 to codify roe v wade (though they didn’t have pro choice super majorities at either of those times by any means so I’m not sure how they would have gone about that), but I’m skeptical of anyone who focuses on that and not obvious current events and actions the Biden admin has taken since roe v wade was struck down. Encouraging voter apathy and flipping elections to republicans is going to make everything a whole lot worse. Give pro choice (and ideally pro overturning the filibuster and pro reform the supreme court) candidates enough control of congress though and hopefully we can get some more change for the better.
All youve done there is repeat that exact same arguments dems have put up for years. The bill has been written for nearly 20 years now, and several times Pelosi herself has refused a vote. In 3 months Obama went from ‘I will sign the bill on day one’ to ‘its not a legislative priority.’ They dont care about womens rights, only about the money it makes them by selling fear, and comments like yours helps them sell fear.
I’ve posted a summary of what the Biden admin has done this term to protect reproductive rights, not just “repeated the same arguments.” The senate made an attempt to codify it in 2022 and it failed, blocked by republicans.
You’ve offered no suggestions on what you think the Biden admin should be doing differently right now.
You’re not even reading, just denying everything that has been done to improve things, offering no criticisms for the politicians who actually created this situation, and doing your best to encourage voter apathy. Forgive me if I’m skeptical of your motives.
