On what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’re reminded that progress can move backward. And that means we’ve got to recommit to doing our part to protect and expand reproductive rights for families today — and for generations to come.
I hope you’ll join with the activists who’ve been sounding the alarm on this issue for years — and act. Stand with them at a local protest. Volunteer with them on a campaign. Donate to their causes. And vote in every election for candidates who will support reproductive rights.
@BarackObama I refuse that democrats take the blame on this. Raising the alarm on it years ago doesn’t mean we are meant to lose it, if we didn’t protect it. The failure was in appointing unbalanced Supreme Court with ultra conservative on board who don’t serve 90% of the population.
@BarackObama As I read all of these comments, I notice that no one mentions expanding services to ensure the mother has access to good medical care while pregnant and that children are well cared for after birth. People aren't "pro life". They're anti abortion.
@BarackObama blah-blah-blah SHUT IT and go home. And go away.
@BarackObama The court overstepped its bounds in Roe v. Wade. The ruling wasn’t progress. It was legislation from the bench. It subverted the growing pains and compromises we needed to come to a constitutional resolution -real progress-. I think it would’ve happened by now.
@BarackObama Nope. This is moving forward in a big way. It stops the ki!!ing of babies and will bring out population back up where it should be. Find me one mother who is sorry she didn't go through with an abortion!! I can find you many thousands who are heartbroken that they did do it.
@BarackObama The Supreme Court did their job & upheld the constitution. When they evaluated R v W, they saw that it had just been shoved under something that didn’t really apply, so they corrected it. It’s not banned, just kicked back to individual states to decide for themselves
@BarackObama I see you have all timed your taking points for today.
@BarackObama Take the L on Roe/Casey and just concentrate on crafting laws at the state level that meet voters where they are on the issue.
