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.

    I don’t even blame the Dems for this. This is the end result of the sort of undemocratic bullshit that’s baked into our government. The Republicans have won The Game™ that is our government by controlling most of the land in the country, and thanks to FPTP our only alternative is a feckless coalition run by people who should have retired two decades ago.

    We need a reset and we’ve needed it since at least 1971 but we haven’t got it and each year we delay will intensify the collapse.

    Good luck everyone.

        What county are you talking about? You’re going to have to be a bit more specific than that. There isn’t a single country out there that doesn’t have a disgusting history.

        Specifically slavery: millions of victims were brought to the Americas (almost every country), but that was just their final destination. Who brought them? Europeans. Who sold them? Africans. It’s a shame of four continents, not just one country.

          Dude… How in the ever living fuck, just from the context, could you not tell I was currently talking about the United States of America? This is a comment section about American politics. It’s a comment chain about American politics. I’m really trying to wrap my mind around how the hell you got lost but glossing over that onto the rest of your post… Yes there are disgusting things all over the world. But right now I’m currently discussing America.

          I have never understood this weird issue with certain Americans. Every time you try to criticize America they come screaming WHY ARENT YOU TALKING ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE AFRICA IS!!

          I’m not talking about the horrors of Africa right now because this isn’t a thread about Africa. Simple as that.
