Biden says he's mulling health emergency for abortion access

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. — President Joe Biden said Sunday he is considering declaring a public health emergency to free up federal resources to promote abortion access even though the White House has said it doesn’t seem like “a great option.”

He also offered a message to people enraged by the Supreme Court’s ruling last month that ended a constitutional right to abortion and who have been demonstrating across the country: “Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important.”

The president, in remarks to reporters during a stop on a bike ride near his family’s Delaware beach house, said he lacks the power to force the dozen-plus states with strict restrictions or outright bans on abortion to allow the procedure.

“I don’t have the authority to say that we’re going to reinstate Roe v. Wade as the law of the land,” he said, referring to the Supreme Court’s decision from 1973 that had established a national right to abortion. Biden said Congress would have to codify that right and for that to have a better chance in the future, voters would have to elect more lawmakers who support abortion access.

2. It's not a great option. But it's something.

“Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important.”

Tell your comms director; she seemed to think activists are "out of step" with the party.

3. Time to open abortion clinics on all military bases

Set the Attorney General to prosecute to the fullest any state official who tries to stop or punish a woman for getting an abortion on federal government land, not just lawsuits but criminal prosecution.

4. THIS

Rent space on federal property at market rates to abortion providers. Construct leases that ensure the government incurs zero expense. Tell Henry Hyde's ghost to go fuck himself.

7. Every tool

must be used to fight back HARD. Just go crazy on these idiots.

6. Still require a law change

Besides a ban on funding, DoD facilities are barred from performing abortions with exceptions to rape, incest, or life endangerment of the mother. See 10 USC Sec.1093.

9. It won't be a DoD facility

It will be a private business operating on the base like a Wendy's or an Arco that many base's have.

8. he needs to do a prime time address to say these things

not a gaggle of reporters during a bike ride.

this is a national crisis and needs to be treated like it

10. Stop mulling and just do it. Hell the Supreme Court has lost all credibility

If they can issue outlandish (possibly illegal?) orders, so can you, for the safety of the American people.
