The Biden campaign will hit the airwaves in battleground states with its first abortion-focused ad of the year, featuring stark, emotional testimony from a woman personally affected by a state abortion ban who lays the blame directly on former President Donald Trump.

It comes as the campaign is launching a full-court press this week to put abortion rights front and center in the 2024 race, including with events headlined by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The push marks the campaign’s first organized effort to emphasize the issue, seeking to further galvanize voters around reproductive rights in the first presidential election after the Supreme Court ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion.

The new TV spot also follows Biden’s ramped-up attacks against Trump in the opening weeks of the year, portraying him as a direct threat to democracy. It’s part of the campaign’s efforts to warn of Trump’s plans and positions ahead of a possible matchup in November.

    Trump wasn’t the president in June of 2022. That’s when Roe V Wade was reversed. This happened under Biden’s watch. Democrats have failed time and time again to do something to enshrine abortion rights when they’ve had the opportunity. Why would I believe that they are actually going to do something this time around?

    Here’s how the future’s going to go if Biden gets elected. They’ll spend the next 4 years not protecting abortion rights, and then a republican’s going to get elected in 2028, and completely destroy abortion rights federally. Democrats will continue to con you into voting for them by faking a promise to bring back abortion rights.

    Shit’s going to get far fucking worse before it’s going to get better.

      The President didn’t repeal Roe v Wade. The Trump Supreme Court did that.

      As long as morons help Republicans by not voting Democrat, they’re going to continue turning this country into North Korea.

        You don’t get it. EVERYTHING you say is the same talking points from democrats for the past 40 years, at least.

        They need to reinsert their back bone and fight for things their voters care about.

        It’s not my fault that Biden is a center right corporate politician who needs to be in a fucking assisted living center. And frankly, I don’t really care if you think that it is.

        If i am not offered a candidate who is left of center. See you in hell I guess.

          So if there’s no candidate left of center, you rather vote full right or not vote at all? Just curious not trying to start anything

            I think he just needed to vent, assuming he isn’t saying “Don’t vote for Joe, Democrats don’t do shit” sincerely. He has a point when he says they need to insert a god damn spine. But this countries politics is fucked, and there’s not any systematic change that’s going to be happening by the time the election rolls around. So we get what we get.

              Centrists assume all dissatisfaction is disloyalty. This is because they are actually represented by the party that could have codified roe but didn’t feel like it.

            Centerists continue to fuck us in the primaries and then are gobsmacked when we suggest we won’t show up in the general.
