Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer suggested that President Biden should talk about abortion more so people know he is a president who is “fighting” for the right to an abortion.
Asked by CBS News “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan if Biden, who is of Catholic faith, needs to talk about abortion more, Whitmer said, “I think it would be good if he did.”
“I know that one tenet of his belief system is that women and only women at — with their families and — and health care professionals are the ones who know what decision is right for them,” said Whitmer, co-chair for Biden’s reelection campaign. “And that he is fighting and going to continue to fight to make sure that that is squarely the ability … [of] an American woman to make that decision.”
Brennan then asked if Biden needs to be the messenger on that more, to which Whitmer said, “I don’t think it would hurt.”
And why addressing it only comes up in election years?
Sadly the donor class doesn’t hold the same values as the rest on the left, so politicians are rarely held to the standards they set. On both left and right in the US. That’s how the right dupes poor people into thinking they’ll get help and that help never comes.
This isn’t exclusive to the right. Democrats do the same with promises of healthcare, education, wages, housing, and equality.
