President Biden’s reelection campaign is preparing to highlight abortion rights in the lead-up to the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, CBS News has learned, seeking to tie the upcoming election to a “woman’s right to make her own health care decisions — including the very possible reality of a MAGA Republican-led national abortion ban.”

The extensive plans include ad buys, campaign rallies and events across the U.S. organized in lockstep with the Democratic National Committee, which will launch opinion pieces in local newspapers focusing on statewide abortion bans.

Ahead of the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision on Jan. 22, television and digital ads highlighting the personal impact of abortion restrictions will air in swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a Biden-Harris campaign official.

    You’re welcome to criticize Biden as much as you want. I don’t care, but do it on the right merits and with an understanding of how legislation gets passed. Because singling out the president is such a moronic thing in this context. Of course it’s an election issue. But apparently that’s not good enough because he could have somehow done more even though we have a republican majority in the Senate. Do you see how that comes off as really disingenuous criticism? It’s just rehashing “Biden bad” for the sake of …what?

      All I have been saying, over and over and over, is he could have at least been doing exactly what he’s doing here, this right here, at the very least. Instead he waited to do this as a reelection issue. This one tiny little criticism.

      And that makes he a horrible white man plotting the downfall of the democratic party and telling people to vote for Trump.

        Listen, if he’s not reelected we ain’t getting shit done. It’s over. This is the nature of politics. Without power or secure coalitions we ain’t getting anything done. It’s not like this alone is going to sway voters. This guy has a big mountain to climb to stay in office it seems. This might be an electoral gesture, but in the Grand scheme it’s a drop in the bucket. We can keep our eyes on the prize or we can bitch and moan all day about how imperfect Joe is. He’s here for only four years, our lives and the lives of our kids have to go through multiple administrations. I’m here for the long game. Is Joe my favorite candidate of all time? God no. But politics is a marathon not a sprint.

          I never said he should not be reelected and I don’t bitch and moan about how imperfect he is all day. I criticized a single action of his on a single thread and now, for over 24 hours, people like you have been harassing me, making things up about me, and insulting me for doing so.
