On Roe anniversary, Whitmer and abortion advocates urge voting Biden for reproductive rights

"We've got to continue to organize - to vote, and to make sure that we keep Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House," Whitmer said.

Advocates for reproductive freedom gathered on the 51st anniversary of Roe Versus Wade - the US Supreme Court ruling that protected a woman’s right to have an abortion - the ruling that was overturned in 2022. It left states to decide to ban abortions - or support them.

Pro-abortion advocates fear that re-electing Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers would ultimately lead to a national ban in all states.

“The number of patients traveling to Michigan because they can no longer access abortion in their home state has tripled,” said [Dr. Sarah] Wallett. [Lookin’ at you, Ohio! 👀 – rr]

[Says our Gov. Gretchen Whitmer,] “We’ve expanded rights with the Reproductive Health Act, but the fight is not over and that’s the point - we’ve got to continue to fight like hell.”

When will the Anti-Choice learn? It was never about being forced unwillingly to terminate a pregnancy, nor abortion as contraception. Does anyone in their right mind (you define that yourselves) think that a woman in that position at any time takes that decision lightly? We’re not talking about getting your ears pierced here! It was always about that if the situation should arise, regardless of how it arises, you have the choice to manage the situation as you see fit.

I’m done. Peace.

    The dems have spent the last 30+ years sitting with their thumbs up their asses while republicans mobilized, slowly eroded abortion rights, took over the supreme court, and repealed roe. Then they have the gall to say we should vote for them because of their failure.

    I’m not saying don’t vote for Biden, I’m just fucking angry.

          I know you’re kidding around 🤣 😭 but Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was decided by the (Republican-heavy[1]) Supreme Court. Besides offing then replacing GOP-chosen judges during Dem presidencies 🤔, how could “the Democrats” (and the American people) have done anything? The fight continues, alas. ✊

          EXTRA-STUPID EDIT: I didn’t see your “blame” comment was in cheeky response to my cheeky reply. 🤦‍♂️ Sorry.

          1. Three of which are — dare I say it? — Trump ringers chosen. ↩︎
