(The Guardian) Biden and Democrats pummel Trump on anniversary of supreme court decision overturning Roe v Wade
Today is the two-year anniversary of the supreme court’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the 49-year-old precedent set in Roe v Wade and allowed states to ban abortion. Since then, abortion rights advocates have succeeded in getting voters to approve measures protecting access to the procedure in states as conservative as Kansas and Ohio, while Democratic candidates across the country have campaigned on reproductive rights to win office. Now, the party is looking to continue that momentum going into the November presidential election, with an eye towards focusing the ire of pro-abortion rights voters on Donald Trump – who appointed to the court three of the justices that supported the Dobbs decision.
“Two years ago today, Donald Trump’s supreme court majority ripped away the fundamental freedom for women to access the health care they need and deserve,” Joe Biden said in a statement released this morning to mark the occasion. While he remains ensconced at the Camp David presidential retreat ahead of Thursday’s debate with Trump, Kamala Harris will hold a campaign event today in Maryland, where she’ll no doubt address the issue.
Biden calls Trump 'sole person responsible for this nightmare' on anniversary of Dobbs decision
Joe Biden has marked the second anniversary of the supreme court’s Dobbs decision by issuing a statement reminding voters of Donald Trump’s involvement in the ruling, which gave state the green-light to ban abortion.
Since then, 14 states have implemented total abortion bans, and 27 others have banned the procedure after a certain number of weeks of gestation, according to the Guttmacher Institute. In his statement, Biden described the situation as a “nightmare” that can only be blamed on Trump: Donald Trump is the sole person responsible for this nightmare. For him, these cruel state bans are a ‘beautiful thing to watch’ – and they’re just beginning. This is a man who brags about overturning Roe v. Wade, has called for women who access reproductive health care to be punished — and says he would rule as a dictator on day one. If given the chance, there is no question he will ban abortion nationwide, with or without the help of Congress. You don’t have to take my word for it – his advisors have already laid out the plans to do it.
