“It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Biden's deputy campaign manager said.

“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.

Biden has been poised to run on what has been described as the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate as he and his allies look to notch a victory in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Last month, Biden seized on a case in Texas, where a woman, Kate Cox, was denied an abortion despite the risk to her life posed by her pregnancy.

“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”

    And several of those Senators in that supermajority were against abortion rights. I can name them if you actually care.

    Mate, I literally warned you against this. Two of those Senators were from god damned Arkansas, one from Indiana, and one from Louisiana. This was not the Democratic Party of the 2020s. Several of them voted for a federal ban on late-term abortions and bans for the use of any federal funding for abortions. Our good friend Joe Manchin was also in that majority.

    Please though, do try again. You seemed very confident that this pro-abortion majority definitely existed, so I’ll wait.

      Sounds like Democrats are shit bags too then and the whole “vote blue no matter who” won’t actually solve anything.

          Why? Because expecting Democrats to serve the people who’s votes they depend on is to tall an order? How fucking pathetic is that?

              I made it very clear who I preferred in the 2020 primaries and I would have happily voted for a number of others if they had made it to the general. Instead we got Joe Biden. The people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries can go fuck themselves. At the end of the day your opinion of me doesn’t matter. You want my vote but you can’t have it because you chose Joe fucking Biden in the 2020 primaries.

                Third party voters are worse than Republican voters. Knock yourself out. And make sure you feel real good jerking it to how morally superior you are

                  I just said I’m not voting for Biden. I gave him a chance in the 2020 general election. He’s made it clear he won’t move to the left so he can go fuck himself along with everyone who voted for him in the 2020 primaries. I’m not claiming moral superiority. I’m just not propping up your garbage candidate. You want my vote? Should’ve made a better choice in the primaries. Simple as that.
