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.

      So you’re mad that he’s making it a campaign issue because he didn’t explicitly make it one beforehand, which he did, you just either didn’t read the news when he did or forgot he did it.

      I’m as annoyed with Dems not being loud enough as the next guy but at a certain point it stops being their fault for being bad at communicating and yours for just refusing to listen.

      The article itself in the headline calls out that this is an effort that he’s been contributing to and is publicizing a fresh push in.

      Porcelain American Shit.

          If it’s such a “fucking massive thing” then why did no one bother to show up to vote in 2016? 2016 had the lowest voter turn out among young voters. Seems really convenient when something matters. Biden can do no right it seems, even though Roe v Wade was overturned like last year.

            Because we had shit options in 2016. Remember? You were there right? Everybody constantly talking about how the fuck are we having to pick between Trump and Clinton?

            I showed up and I voted for Clinton even though I wasn’t happy about it but yeah… Here we are.

            Also I’m not understanding your quotation marks around massive fucking thing. Are you trying to act like this isn’t actually a big deal? That this isn’t a hot button issue among people? That’s the only thing I can figure out you’re trying to imply with that?

              I put it in quotation marks because it’s only a massive fucking thing when it’s convenient. Apparently constantly purity testing our candidates is WAY more important than actually accomplishing things.

                To YOU its only a big deal when its convenient. To me this has been a big issue for a long time.

                again…and i don’t get why i have to keep saying this to you fucking cultists…I like Biden. But that means you are allowed to dislike some of his decisions. Stop acting like a redhat and lashing out anyone who dares to question a single misstep your god emperor takes.

                  Woah I don’t care for Biden. What I care about is getting a super majority so we can pass meaningful policy and appoint the right people in leadership. For some reason online discourse is either a) purity testing the presidential candidate b) acting as if the president alone has some kind of universal magical powers that can fix all our problems.

                    God you love those words purity testing. But I’m glad you, at least now, agree this is a big deal as opposed to the way you tried to downplay it in your original post.

                    But again…all this bullshit from you and other people came about because I dared to criticize a singe action of Biden’s, a man who ive said multiple times, I actually like. As much as one can like most politicians these days anyways. People blabbering about purity testing. People literally calling me a saboteur to the democratic party. People claiming I’m going out of my way to try to get Trump elected.

                    Holy fuck politics in this country are a joke.

                    edit-Oh yeah, Can’t forget me questioning Biden had someone like you give me a massive speech about how horrible white people are that a mod ended up removing. All because i said “so he waited to make this an election issue”. All those things from that one simple comment.

            Holy ever living fuck my man. Not only are you racist as shit but you are completely making shit up. Nowhere did I say we shouldn’t be voting for Democrats. I’ve been very fucking clear that the Republicans are a million times worse and I will be sticking with Democrats.

            But seriously… Please reread what you fucking said and tell me how it isn’t just pure fucking racism.

              Don’t pretend to be dense. The criticism you are receiving has nothing to do with you criticizing biden. Most people here probably agree with you so there’s nothing to say about that. It has to do with you choosing to distract from your main point by using obscure insults.

            Also I need to point out that all I did was criticize a single fucking action of Biden’s and you’re trying to turn that into, not only questioning my loyalty to the fucking party, but also saying I’m trying to sabotage the goddamn party.

            By criticizing a single fucking action of his. One. One thing I criticized and this is your reaction.

            You are literally a fucking cultist. You are exactly 100% the democrat version of a red hat. Frothing in rage at anyone who dares to question a single step your god emperor makes.

            So does porcelain American mean brittle and prone to fracture, or is it an exclusively white person designation, or most probably both? Genuinely asking, as it is a neologism for me

              I was wondering the same thing. Its not a winning message if its the latter. I have to assume they are a bad actor if they want to hurt their own cause that bad. Its one thing to complain about what white people did and are doing. Its another to call them names. I can separate myself from the white people doing shitty things. I can’t separate myself from my skin color. Insulting it doesn’t help anyone.

              I absolutely think leftists should hold their nose and vote dem. Insulting me doesn’t change that but unfortunately it can sway some people.

            Removed. “Porcelain Americans” is a clever slur for “white people”, but if we allow clever slurs for one, it will be slurs all the way down.

                A perjorative, against a class of people, designed to denigrate and abuse that class? Sure I do.

                Just because it’s creative and new doesn’t mean we should allow it because then the sub will be filled with all kinds of creative new terms for other groups.
