The White House announced Wednesday that Kate Cox, a woman at the center of a contentious abortion case in Texas, has accepted an invitation to attend President Joe Biden’s State of the Union after he pledged to put abortion at the center of his 2024 campaign.
Cox is in the middle of a lawsuit against the state of Texas, challenging a state law preventing her from aborting her 20-week-old child, whom she claimed had Trisomy 18, a medical condition that causes structural abnormalities. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a press briefing that the president and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden had invited Cox as a guest during the upcoming State of the Union on March 7.
“On Sunday, the President and First Lady spoke to Kate Cox, who was forced to go to court to seek permission for the care she needed for a non-viable pregnancy that threatened her life,” Jean-Pierre said. “They thanked her for her courage and sharing her story and speaking out about the extreme abortion ban in Texas. The First Lady invited her to join her as a guest at the State of the Union and Kate accepted.”
Cox was initially granted a stay of the law by a court in December but the state’s Supreme Court ruled only days later that the lower court erred in providing a temporary injunction. As a result, she later left Texas to obtain an abortion, according to The Associated Press.
The Biden administration has continued to push abortion in recent weeks as a main issue leading up to the 2024 presidential election. On Monday, the White House commemorated the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Biden called on Congress to enshrine abortion rights into federal law, according to NBC News.
Julie Chávez Rodríguez, Biden’s campaign manager, said in June that the president’s campaign would put abortion “front and center” ahead of the November 2024 election.
“I think it’ll continue to be a really galvanizing issue, and we’ll continue to find ways to make it front and center,” Julie Chávez Rodríguez told Politico.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also held a campaign event in Virginia Tuesday evening to tout “reproductive justice,” according to The Washington Post.
“Let’s remember, it was Donald Trump and his Supreme Court who ripped away the rights and freedoms of women in America,” Biden said to the audience. “It will be Joe Biden and Kamala D. Harris and all of you who will restore those rights.”
Sick.
Gerhard Kretschmar anyone? As in Aktion T4
What kind of woman would get up on stage before the entire world and celebrate killing her child?? Or am I missing something?
I could make a Lee Harvey Oswald comment but I really don’t want a bunk in the J6 Gulag.
“Joe Biden Invites woman who aborted her disabled baby as State of the Union guest”
Which perfectly describes the state of this Union.
Ok. This is just creepy. Gotta see it for what it is though...its all political. Brandon dont gaf one way or the other about this woman or the baby or any other. This is all about votes and what looks good to the cameras and the blood thirsty people watching. Feels almost like a modern day Roman Colosseum Gladiator victory celebration where the victor is the democrat party and the slayed is a defenseless human being. I got an idea...invite EVERY WOMAN whose had an abortion during the biden administration to the White House for this same event. I bet they wouldn’t even all fit on the WH lawn. Now THAT would be moving.
The POS didn’t want a Down Syndrome baby.Any GOPer have the guts to invite a man or woman with Down Syndrome? I understand the complexity of such a pregnancy but there’s so many mothers who kept life. I find it unsettling that life is so disposable/inconvenient to women. In this case viability and risk to mother are highly subjective as Texas didn’t see an exemption.
Invite a woman and her thriving and happy Downs son or daughter, whom she decided to NOT abort, to the SOTU reply.
The abortion issue will crush the GOP including Trump in November, I predict.
The kid had Edward’s Syndrome (Trisomy 18) not Down’s Syndrome (trisomy 21) but you are correct in that she had an abortion because she did not want a ‘retarded’ baby.
What a vile cruel monstrous POS we have occupying our White House!!!
The abortion issue will crush the GOP including Trump in November, I predict.
>>>I can’t recall right at the moment where or who said it a day or so ago, but there was a suggestion made that President Trump ought to deliver the GOP SOTU response this time.
He should embrace how his SCOTUS justices have saved unborn babies and denounce Brandon’s heinous invitation, etc.
Anyone who lives like Joe biden lives.. Does not believe there is a God, and does not believe there is judgment. I know there are many.. But this one lives in our White House.
I would list his hobbies, but it isn’t fit to put on paper I’ve lived a Number of years.. The past 3 have been heart breaking.. My country has been taken over by those who don’t love you
She’s an American hero! /s
Not as bad as (the rumor I started, that) Big Mike Obama would have an on-stage abortion at the 2008 DNC convention.
Could have happened, and this isn’t a world worse.
Because Heinrich Himmler wasn’t available.
This is what a Satanic nation looks like.
If killing children is the most important issue to a nation, it shouldn’t exist.
Abortion is the only thing the Demonocrats have to run on.
They have no accomplishments they can run on.
