The move underscores the Biden campaign's strategy to tie stringent GOP-led abortion restriction efforts across the U.S. to former President Donald Trump.
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.
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.
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.
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!
lol yep. And of course my comment is very controversial because, on lemmy, you must worship all of Biden's actions and never even hint that maybe SOME THINGS he does are bad.

The rally will focus on attempts in Virginia and other states to roll back reproductive rights in the wake of the Supreme Court's June 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
"Virginians unequivocally rebuked the MAGA agenda and their attacks on women's reproductive freedom, leading to Democrats retaining the Senate and flipping the House of Delegates to take full control of the General Assembly," the Biden-Harris campaign said in a statement to CBS News.
According to Democratic allies close to Mr. Biden's reelection effort, his campaign sees abortion rights as a galvanizing issue for their coalition that will bolster the president's chances of retaining the White House.
"Trump directly paved the way for Republican extremists across the country to enact draconian bans that are hurting women and threatening doctors," Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.

I don't know why they are still calling it abortion. That's a trigger. It is the right to choose. Not pro-choice. The right to choose.
They screwed up saying "global warming" instead of climate change...big concepts are not MAGA's forte.
Catastrophically unpopular incumbent shows interest in social issues when its 10 months away from the election. If you think anything will actually come of this please DM me your credit card info, I will credit back if he actually does something useful.
