“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.”

And several of those Senators in that supermajority were against abortion rights. I can name them if you actually care.
Mate, I literally warned you against this. Two of those Senators were from god damned Arkansas, one from Indiana, and one from Louisiana. This was not the Democratic Party of the 2020s. Several of them voted for a federal ban on late-term abortions and bans for the use of any federal funding for abortions. Our good friend Joe Manchin was also in that majority.
Please though, do try again. You seemed very confident that this pro-abortion majority definitely existed, so I’ll wait.
Two things.
One: even removing those listed senators from the supermajority, that still leaves a majority.
Two: their original comment lamented that the Democrats never even held a vote when they had control with the intent of putting their votes on the record, so that voters would know who actually supports their rights.

Because his argument has understanding of the situation, and isn’t a pithy tantrum.
If you want abortion, you have to vote for it. There are primaries coming up. Go vote for every pro-choice Republican and Democrat you can find. Let me know if you elect 60 of them to the Senate and 218 to Congress. Then you’ll absolutely get your codified abortion rights.
Or maybe your whining about Dems will fix the problem.
Your big win is that for two months, during which Congress was scrambling to deal with a recession so bad we still feel its effects and Dems fought and lost a fight to get the public option in healthcare, they could have easily just codified the right to abortion. You’re either a troll or an idiot. Either way, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Sounds like Democrats are shit bags too then and the whole “vote blue no matter who” won’t actually solve anything.
Vote for trump then
Why? Because expecting Democrats to serve the people who’s votes they depend on is to tall an order? How fucking pathetic is that?
Because you seem to prefer them
I made it very clear who I preferred in the 2020 primaries and I would have happily voted for a number of others if they had made it to the general. Instead we got Joe Biden. The people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries can go fuck themselves. At the end of the day your opinion of me doesn’t matter. You want my vote but you can’t have it because you chose Joe fucking Biden in the 2020 primaries.
Third party voters are worse than Republican voters. Knock yourself out. And make sure you feel real good jerking it to how morally superior you are
I just said I’m not voting for Biden. I gave him a chance in the 2020 general election. He’s made it clear he won’t move to the left so he can go fuck himself along with everyone who voted for him in the 2020 primaries. I’m not claiming moral superiority. I’m just not propping up your garbage candidate. You want my vote? Should’ve made a better choice in the primaries. Simple as that.
Man if only there was some other piece of legislation they got passed during that 2 months… Maybe the largest healthcare overhaul in generations?
The one that said it was illegal to not buy health insurance? The “compromise” that turned it into a huge win for the insurance industry? And it still sounds like people are going bankrupt because of medical issues or having treatments blocked because some insurance asshole disagrees with their doctor.
Yes, the one that was neutered completely by republicans which was somehow Obama’s fault for doing something instead of nothing, the very thing being condemned in this thread
Weren’t we talking about a period of time when the Dems controlled the presidency, house and senate?
That wasn’t the case when the aca was created
“Controlled”. If having a monolithic voting bloc is your number one issue, then go vote Republican. By the way, they’re not any better at passing legislation, so don’t get your hopes up.
I have no vote in that race, just watching the dumpster fire from my own dumpster that itself is smoldering a bit.
Oh I remember, that’s the one that the Republicans literally created as RomneyCare
Democrats, assisting fascists since the invention of liberalism

Lieberman was an independent at the time. For fuck’s sake, if you’re going to turf, at least get some of facts right.

Fucking breadcrumbs. Banks and insurance companies benefited more from Obama’s presidency than the American people.
