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.

    “When did they have the ability to???”

    Tells them exactly when

    “Oh and you expected them to do their job and what they promised to do in that time???”

    Typical lefties.

      Nah that’s not lefties, it’s centre-rights cosplaying as lefties. They’ll talk about how they want x y and z to change while actively doing everything they can to block any progress towards changing x y and z. The actual wording of the bill could have been written up years in advance and continuously updated. Basic bodily autonomy is certainly to the level of importance where that should have been the bare minimum. The only thing preventing them from pushing it through by end of day January 21, 2009 was it being far too big of a fearmongering token and donation driver.

        It’s what currently known as lefties, even if you think they’re centre right.

        Americans treat politics like a sport. They only care about winning. They don’t care how, or if winning actually accomplishes anything other than making the other team lose. They just want to win. Abortion is a topic they know helps them win any time it comes up, so they want to hang onto that winning play for as long as possible, and taking it off the table does the opposite of that.

          Boy do I have yet another bridge to sell you if you think the American DNC is even in the same zip code as left. They may very well like to call themselves that, but they’re very, very clearly centre-right neolibs. There’s a handful of voices within the party trying to change that, but they’ve made very little progress.

            You’re not understanding. I’m not saying they’re classically “left”. I’m saying that they are what is called the left in the current day, even if they’re centre or centre right.

              I could paint my dog like a tiger and call it such. Doesn’t make it a tiger
