The left in each state should force the state they live in to put it up for a vote.
My bet is that the majority of states will vote in abortion rights.
This will put the SCOTUS and the Republicans in the corner over states rights.
The issue where they screwed up is that a lot of people who are “pro life” hold the exact same beliefs as people who are pro choice. Most people do not want elective abortions in the last 3 months. They had no idea so many “pro life” people felt this way.
Not sure why it wasn’t a top priority the first term?
Good. Abortion rights after reelection, but voting rights right now.
Universal Healthcare
Don’t we need a constitutional amendment to restore abortion rights nationwide? I don’t see how this is a feasible priority honestly and unfortunately, unless he’s going to stack the court and undo the Dobbs decision that way.
Put legalize marijuana and you’ve got a lock.
They’re doing a great job of ignoring the number one threat to the country, which is republican terrorism. It doesn’t make any sense to work on any other issue until you address the republican problem. There needs to be strict safeguards in place to prevent another trump; teeth for the emoluments clause; rebalancing Congress to ensure it remains an accurate representation of the public; reorganizing the supreme Court; voting rights protections. I could go on, and I do understand how unfeasible some of these things are, but that’s kind of my point: the system as a whole is so severely broken that running on issues like abortion or immigration or taxes just doesn’t make sense anymore. He should run on holding a constitutional convention to restore representation. That would be more likely to get my vote.
Hammer the right by hard on this. They brought it upon themselves.
Trump’s top priority for a second term: ending democracy.
It worked very well in the midterm election, why not in the general election?
Seriously, have some type of abortion rights vote in every swing state, along with medical marijuana and LGBTQ+. Gen Z will show up HARD, harder than the midterms.
Wasn’t this a priority among other things he’s failed to deliver on?
Half of what qualifies as “Promises Kept” is bullshit too, it’s not a good presidency. They really need to put him out to pasture and get someone else involved in the election asap.
Don’t get me wrong I’m all for codifying Abortion rights but we really need to secure our Democracy from the Christian Domionists/terrorists first. If they get their way we aren’t talking about abortion rights for some we will be having a conversation about rights for anyone who isn’t a Christian Evangelical.
Weird how he only made it a priority *after* the election.
Top priority? I agree it’s important but you can’t think of anything else that’s a higher priority?
Stop the genocide, Joe. It’s pretty simple if you want re-election.
Should have been a priority during this one instead it is incentivizing voting for him. Typical political ploy
lol good luck
Remember when democrats had a super majority under Obama but chose not to pass any abortion laws. Good times.
This has to be the main cause.
Could we get equitable tax policy on the list?
Why couldn’t this be a priority for the first term, fucker? You let women suffer so you could save this one for the election. Fuck you.
What’s he doing until the election? We have about 11 months to go while he has some semblance of power.
i’m not sure if it’s said yet but, MAKE CANNABIS LEGAL!!!
sure win with gen x, millinials and the younger generation.

Election priority for all of us must be defending democracy — Vote for Democrats.
Domestic priority certainly should include protecting individual liberty and equality of right and justice under law for all, including restoring individual liberty and privacy rights for women … ensuring their right to make the most personal and consequential decisions about their own bodies but must also include policies that enable more equal opportunity and prosperity for the majority of Americans.
Foreign policy must be defending our nation against all threats but should include defending democracy by being a dependable ally to allies who are defending democracy as well as fair trade … and pursuit of peace on earth.
Lmao this dude needs to just sit down and try to remember to pants down when he sits to pee. Truly, anyone who votes this fucking idiot in for another term is delusional beyond repair if they think America won’t backslide further from sleepy joe second term, REM sleep dementia edition
This is gonna go as well as student loan forgiveness.
Sorry, I just cannot begin thinking about Biden’s priorities for a 2nd term. I am too worried that there won’t be one. (to be clear, I am worried about the alternative – if it was another Dem and not an anti-American Republican, that would be fine).
I told my daughter not to go to the USA, if she wanted to have a child. The danger of her not being able to make decisions about her own body is far too great
This is not only a good thing for Americans, as something they should have, and have someone fighting for, but it’s a very strong subject to run on. Lots of people care deeply about that for good reason.
I agree with this priority, but also: affordable housing for the people who are already born? Woulda thought that’d be a winning issue also, but nobody running seems to talk about it much.
Going to give him a sane House but best of fucking luck with the Senate.
Cut medicare/medicaid reimbursements for states that ban reproductive services and drugs. FAFO
As it should be.
Why not start now?
Gotta be honest, as a Republican who voted for Biden in last election this isn’t what I want to hear or for him to focus on.
Yeah but if too many single issue left wing voters don’t show up and give Biden a majority to make Manchins in the party worthless it won’t matter.
Simply not credible promise from an old-school Irish Catholic politician who was anti-abortion for decades. Biden should retire.
Fix the bullshit that is being used to dismantle our democracy. That’s what needs to be the top priority.
No surprise. It’s one of the reasons that I’m no longer a Democrat.
Forced pregnancy is gestational slavery. No one terminates a viable or wanted pregnancy after 3 months. These bans are causing women/girls to die waiting with sepsis or become sterile carrying a fetus that won’t live after birth. This is an assault on freedom and bodily autonomy. Corpses have to have given written permission to use their body as do organ donors. No one is obligated to keep another alive without consent. Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy. There is no punishment for males who dump unwanted loads into women/girls. Males are 100% responsible for ALL pregnancies. Women don’t shoot eggs into males. If these laws continue there must be some punishment for males. Want to end abortion sterilize males until marriage or stfu.
I’m pro abortion rights. I wanted to say that before saying I don’t think he gives a crap about them.
I see too many politicians hold off while people suffer to say, “hey, if you vote me in again, I’ll start working on that thing you want.”
No, bro. I’m not giving you my money now on the promise you’ll show up an paint my hose next month. You wouldn’t pay for that service till the work was completed and evaluated. How is that a relevant argument to elect a national leader?
When does Biden get to appoint his 3 Supreme Court justices in his first term? The system is broken.
biden has been against this for his entire career. I dont trust him to follow through on this.
It’s not close to being the most important issue in the country and he can’t do anything about it anyways. 60 vote in the Senate is the only way something gets done.
Bring back back alley abortive services. Someone get that lady paid
