Biden Expands Reproductive Rights On ‘Roe’ Anniversary.
“Meanwhile, Biden on Monday is expected to convene two dozen senior officials in the White House for a meeting of his reproductive health task force, where he will be joined by several physicians who have practiced in states with abortion bans. Vice President Harris is slated to kick off a multistate reproductive rights tour with a visit to Wisconsin, where she is expected to criticize a proposal by state Republicans to ban abortion after 14 weeks of pregnancy. Wisconsin’s Democratic governor has already said he will veto the bill.
“On this day and every day, Vice President Harris and I are fighting to protect women’s reproductive freedom against Republicans’ dangerous, extreme, and out-of-touch agenda,” Biden said in a statement.”
Abortion rights will be a major issue in the 2024 election and beyond. The hard right base of the GOP want no abortions to be legal at all and this presents a major dilemma for the party because this hard line view is far out of step with public opinion. As long as Republicans have to appease the anti-choice front they will continue to be weak in elections in which reproductive rights are on the ballot in any form.
