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.

Glorious sight, seeing them eat their own.
I have some empathy for those on the left. The establishment wanted Hillary and Jeb in 2016 which was not attractive to either of the parties’ bases.
Don’t usually think of activists on the right side?
That’s the annoying part, nothing wrong with sex, but it can make babies when you don’t have infertility or effective contraception. I half feel like saying “prevent abortions. Put a condom on or take a pill”.
Prodressives ARE the democratic party!
Absolutely! Failed attempt at misdirection.
It’s kinda fun being able to sit back and watch them destroy each other.
true, the left, and ox, all claiming it’s a constitutional right- even after the supreme court just said it wasn’t
It’s pretty clear at this point that we live in a world WROL.
Nothing is legitimate. Nothing follows any rule except the rule of tyranny : “Because I say so”.
Right now it’s “Because we say so” but we’re only a step away from a complete “Because I say so” stage.
Yes, which may be why there's nothing in the Constitution about it. It was considered so unthinkable in those days they didn't bother to put anything in. Same with gay marraige.
