“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.

Biden has been poised to run on what has been described as the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate as he and his allies look to notch a victory in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Last month, Biden seized on a case in Texas, where a woman, Kate Cox, was denied an abortion despite the risk to her life posed by her pregnancy.

“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”

    The party shouldn’t try to sell itself as the party saving abortion.

    They aren’t entirely bad for failing to deliver on saving abortion given the limitations. They’re bad for claiming to be able to solve all these problems while actively maintaining/campaigning for people that prevent fixing these issues.

    That said, the Republicans are worse and third-party votes are a shit-show in the US, so it’s not like there’s really any other good option.
