President Joe Biden promised Tuesday that the first bill he sends to Capitol Hill next year will be one that writes abortion protections into law — if Democrats control enough seats in Congress to pass it — as he sought to energize his party’s voters just three weeks ahead of the November midterms.
Twice over, Biden urged people to remember how they felt in late June when the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion, fresh evidence of White House efforts to ensure the issue stays front of mind for Democratic voters this year.
“I want to remind us all how we felt when 50 years of constitutional precedent was overturned,” Biden said in remarks at the Howard Theatre, “the anger, the worry, the disbelief.”
He repeatedly lambasted Republicans nationwide who have pushed for restrictions on the procedure, often without exceptions, and told Democrats in attendance that “if you care about the right to choose, then you gotta vote.”
As he has done all year, Biden emphasized that only Congress can fully restore abortion access to what it was before the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned Roe. But he also acknowledged “we’re short a handful of votes” now to reinstate abortion protections at the federal level, urging voters to send more Democrats to Congress. …

Biden and the Democrats... Their desperation is palatable.
This gambit won’t work... The house and senate will go Republican... Even Drudge is desperately hoping for a 50/50 senate. The landslide should be enjoyable for Republicans.
On November 8th... Get your popcorn out and get ready for another media meltdown similar to Hillary’s drubbing.
It’s not abortion Jo Jo, you friggin’ idiot. IT’S MURDER YOU STUPID ASS.
Just like the time Brandon filled his pants in front of the pope? That kind of reminder? Very inspirational.
The Supreme Court has already declared this a state issue. The fed government needs to keep its hands off all the states.
If Biden recalled his first reaction to the decision, it would be something like:
“I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him, “What do you mean? What are you saying? “ /half joking about the serial plagiarizer.
Another pretty stupid political move by Biden.. abortion is pretty far down the list of voter issues.
NYT poll just showed a 32 point swing of independent women voters from Sept to Oct to the republicans (which you would think this voting block would be pro abortion)... sorry Joe, you don’t know how to “read the room”...
In the infamous words of Barry Obama.. never underestimate Joe’s ability to F.. thinks up.
Too many evil democrats out there.
Dumbass also said that the 9th amendment has the right to privacy in it, and he wrote law review articles on the 9th and 14th umm NOPE
The Supreme Court has already declared this a state issue. The fed government needs to keep its hands off all the states.
**********
The fed MUST keep its hands off. Constitution, Amendment 10.
Since about 5% see that as an issue.
Desperation to try to turn the election….
But won’t work
Desperation. At this point it’s just a gimmick promise to their abortion base to stay the course and lessen the ass-whuppin’ they’re gonna get in three weeks.
If they truly had the national mandate for federally sanctioned abortions (enacted by Congress) then they would have ALREADY rushed it through. The upshot is they don’t and they cannot because of the increased backlash and losses they’re gonna take already.
Even IF my assessment is wrong, such a statute would be unconstitutional - the USSC has decided abortion is not an enumerated federal purview, period. That which is not specifically enumerated in the Constitution is left to the STATES.
For decades, Democrats and pro-abort Republicans have wrapped themselves in the word “Choice” to avoid the grisly word abortion, and to avoid getting tangible and specific.
Now, with the Court ruling, the signs are out with the word “Abortion”, and besides completely alienating those residual Democrat-leaning voters in the northeast and midwest who aren’t comfortable with abortion but figure Congress’ hands are tied, they are also making it clear who is the abortion obsessed party to everybody. The mask is off.
Good luck with that shit pants, you won’t have Congress. you’ll just me an old, demented man mumbling into a mic.
And I will petition the Conference of Catholic Bishops to Excommunicate this jackass.
Didn’t he already say his top priority is to ban assault weapons? So much to do for this incompetent POS
The Catholic Church and its feckless bishops are too cowardly to admonish this reprobate. Biden openly claims he is "catholic" but openly, pridefully violates God's Commandments, and the precepts of his faith.
There's an extremely disconcerting twist to Biden's abortion mongering. Biden had his FBI thugs arrest pro-life advocates holding a vigil outside an abortuary in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. It turns out one of those arrested is 87 year old Eva Edl, a concentration camp holocaust survivor. She has survived a Nazi death camp, only to be arrested by Joe Biden for protecting unborn children. Eva Edl faces 11 years in the Federal penitentiary. How ya gonna spin that one, Democrat Party?
FBI Arrests and Charges 87-Year-Old Concentration Camp Survivor Who Protested at Abortion Clinic
That “good catholic,” Joe Biden, showing his total commitment to make sure that murdering babies is written into our Constitution. I despise the “man,” (Banty Rooster) who is a shell of a man and unworthy to be POTUS.
It sickens me to see that bastard squint when reading his script written by Obama’s minions.
Let’s go Brandon!
