Biden campaign marks Dobbs anniversary with abortion-rights push

It’s been two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in their Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, and President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are using the anniversary to center the 2024 campaign on the fight for reproductive rights. They’re part of a larger push by congressional Democrats and advocacy groups to reinstate federal reproductive rights and protect access to birth control and in vitro fertilization.

“Two years ago today, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court majority ripped away the fundamental freedom for women to access the healthcare they need and deserve,” Biden said in a statement released Monday. This led to “devastating” consequences including “extreme and dangerous abortion bans,” Biden said.

“Donald Trump is the sole person responsible for this nightmare,” Biden continues. “For him, these cruel state bans are a ‘beautiful thing to watch’—and they’re just beginning.”
