White House fires back at 'out of step' activists fuming over Biden's response to abortion ruling
Fox News ^ | 10 July 2022 | Jessica Chasmar

The White House is blasting progressives who "have been consistently out of step" with the Democratic Party amid criticism that President Biden’s response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade has been too little, too late.

The White House defended Biden’s handling of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the constitutional right to an abortion on June 24, while progressive Democrats have called for a number of responses, including packing the Supreme Court, ending the Senate filibuster, declaring a public health emergency, and launching abortion clinics on federal property.

"Joe Biden’s goal in responding to Dobbs is not to satisfy some activists who have been consistently out of step with the mainstream of the Democratic Party," outgoing White House communications director Kate Bedingfield fired back in a statement Saturday. "It’s to deliver help to women who are in danger and assemble a broad-based coalition to defend a woman’s right to choose now, just as he assembled such a coalition to win during the 2020 campaign."

"The president has been showing his deep outrage as an American and executing his bold plan — which is the product of months of hard work — ever since this decision was handed down," she said. President Biden speaks about inflation and supply chain issues at the Port of Los Angeles, June 10, 2022.

While Bedingfield declined to name the activists, progressive Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have called on the president to do more in the wake of the Dobbs decision.

[[”It’s to deliver help to women who are in danger]]

In danger of what? Having to raise a child that they created by having sex?

I have long wanted the right to divide the leftists, exploiting any disagreements or inciting them with crooked political ploys.

After the dirty lies they told all these years about Trump and all of us Deplorables, we should dish it back to them. Being honest and humble good little boys and girls has not worked.

Our fascist government loves people to be in step… goose step preferred. Those damn people going their own way… so annoying!

Right. That “health” BS is absurd.
We have to get this truth out: (if someone had other statistics, fine)
Number of American abortions to save the life of the mother:
2.5% or 2.8%
Number following rape: 1.5%
Number to intervene with abortion after incest: 0.5%

I hope it is a shot over the bow, I mean, the proggies certainly have been out of step, but that is mostly because the proggies kidnapped the women’s movement and are holding it hostage for an ever increasing list of ransom demands

article: "… which overturned the constitutional right to an abortion …"

  1. It is impossible to overturn a constitutional right.
  2. A "right to abortion" never existed.
  3. Traditionally abortion is considered a heinous crime.

AMEN

The elected R’s we have now has long tried—still are—to play sweet, fair and nice while the D’s were playing gutter dirty getting anything they want. I say get in the gutter with them and sling more mud and dirty crap than they can. Tired of turning the other cheek...it’s war as far as Im concerned to save America.

He has zero moderate voters. Mid term shift to win them back. He knows the far left nuts aren’t staying home.

Those quotes really read like some Nazi talking points. This IS who the left are. Commies and bigots. They hate everyone and use everyone they can as much as they can to push their elitist agenda of rule. Anyone that aspires to join and try to find rank in the Democrat party are all comparable to Nazis.

And most don’t even know it. They are ALL useful idiots. The communism goes so deep that even the useful idiots of useful idiots of useful idiots are so stupid that they don’t know where the marching orders come from.

God help us, please.

I sometimes feel we on fr are the only people on the planet who don’t call this a “constitutional right”

Fox News drops that term like they have a macro on it.

“Ouch...Shot over the bow?”

Naa, less than 4 months until Midterms with the country angry as hell at Biden having nothing to do with Abortion. Keep in mind, the way they cheat, through ballot stuffing only works in cities they control, not districts outside of the cities - things will go badly for them in those places.

After Midterms...back to business as usual.

I wonder if one of the activists will decide that they are better off having Kamala as POTUS and make it happen.
