The appearance at a health center will be the latest leg in a nationwide tour by Ms. Harris, who has emerged as the most outspoken defender of abortion rights in the administration. While White House officials say they have largely reached the limits of their power to protect abortion rights, the issue has emerged as a linchpin of their re-election strategy.
This is the kiss of death. Putting Kamala Harris in charge of an issue means the administration doesn’t think there’s any solution (remember how she was supposed to fix the border?).
White House officials say they have largely reached the limits of their power to protect abortion rights…
Yeah, sounds about right.
This is the kiss of death. Putting Kamala Harris in charge of an issue means the administration doesn’t think there’s any solution (remember how she was supposed to fix the border?).
And we saw what happened there. Democrats adopted Republican policy wholesale.
I’m pretty sure she’s not the first politician to visit an abortion clinic.
Hell, I’m fairly certain she’s not even the first Vice President to do so.
The article describes it as
a visit that is believed to be the first stop by a president or vice president to an abortion clinic.
Can you name a prior instance? I’d really be surprised, to be honest. And hey, I am no Harris fan, but this is still a striking action.
It’s a sarcastic comment that politicians likely secretly visited an abortion clinic to get their mistress an abortion while campaigning against abortion.
Why would they go with her? Send her with a driver and tell her to let him know when she is done healing from getting scrapped.
Not like they actually care about the woman and would accompany her.
Oh, hah, woosh right over my head, thank you for explaining.
Why is this news?
First time a President or Vice President has openly visited an abortion clinic. It makes a very clear statement about her (and the Democrats) political position, and is an important part of politicking.
Gotcha, thanks for the answer. Isn’t it already assumed anybody to the left of R is pro-choice though? Why show this to a base that already understood their stance?
It is not. There is a history of the Democrats including people who are anti-abortion within their tent.
I kinda think if they actually cared they would have codified Roe during his free reign no? This feels more like a bargaining chip than anything, same as the random pot seminar.
Broken Senate rules basically require 60% to bring something that isn’t budget-related to a vote.
Why vote for either party that put forth the broken Senate rules?
Because unless most of the populous is going for the same alternative you are, voting for some other party mostly benefits the major party farthest from your views. It’s a consequence of FPTP, which always collapses into a two party system.
Because not voting is worse
You’re saying Kamala has never visited an abortion clinic?
No woman has ever visited one actually, this is the first one ever built
This is how when Biden went on the picket fence, it does absolutely nothing to improve the situation but its a cool ‘historic first’ to brag about.
Like his SCOTUS pick. He announced he was choosing a black woman well before he had an actual pick because having the “historic first” to brag about was of value to him and he knew there were black female judges out there who were at least as qualified as any Trump pick.
