First order of business for President Joe Biden upon assuming office again?
During an interview on Sunday’s NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Quentin Fulks, who is a deputy campaign manager, stated, “First of all: Roe.”
Restoring Roe v. Wade has been a point of strong emphasis for the president. The fact that modern-day women in this nation have fewer rights than their predecessors is incomprehensible, Fulks remarked.
In the first presidential election following the overthrow of Roe v. Wade in 2022, Biden and his supporters have been positioning themselves to run on a platform that has been characterised as the most robust support for abortion rights of any contender in the race.
The president, a devout Catholic, has stated that he is not “big on abortion” due to his beliefs, but that the historic 1973 decision “got it right,” as he told reporters over the summer. Along with fighting attempts to limit access to abortion drugs, he has criticised court rulings that limit abortion access.
A woman named Kate Cox was denied an abortion in Texas last month, even though her pregnancy was a danger to her life. Biden took up the case last month.
It is unacceptable, according to Biden, that a woman must go through the legal system or leave her native state in order to get the medical treatment she requires. But that is precisely what transpired in Texas as a result of Republican-led government, and it is completely unacceptable. Under no circumstances should this occur in the United States.
Voters of all stripes support abortion rights measures when they appear on ballots, according to an AWN analysis, albeit these measures do not necessarily benefit Democratic politicians.
In spite of the Biden campaign’s efforts to redirect voters’ attention from the president to the danger of a Trump reelection, the issue of abortion rights, which Trump influenced with his Supreme Court appointments, is likely to remain an important one.
According to Fulks, the president is aware that the American people, not himself, are the focus of this election.
Biden has more than just restoring Roe on his agenda. Fulks added that if the president were to run for reelection, he would “finish the job” on a number of initiatives that his administration has started pursuing, such as a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, a reduction in the price of insulin, and an expansion of the forgiveness of student loans.
