Kylie Cheung has this to say:
What is Bidens plan to protect access to medication abortion? His plan to stop pregnant people facing medical emergencies and nonviable pregnancies from being denied emergency care? His plan to help people afford the high costs of both abortion and traveling to access the procedure? To stop people from facing criminal charges for losing a pregnancy or self-managing an abortion? Merely quoting an anti-abortion cartoon villain like Donald Trump doesnt tell us any of this.
Abortion is a winning issue: Polls show broad bipartisan support for abortion rights. Candidates even in deep red states like Kentucky have won their races by vocally championing abortion rights. Every single abortion rights ballot measure since Roe fell, from Kansas to Ohio, has won decisively. Of course Biden wants to align himself with thisbut hes yet to show any willingness to actually do the work, fight, push, and get his hands dirty to meaningfully help us.
