Democrats, Biden Campaign Condemn Blocking of Emergency Abortion for Texas Woman
Recently, a disturbing incident occurred in Texas that has sparked outrage among Democrats and the Biden campaign. The blocking of emergency abortion services for a Texas woman has raised concerns about women’s reproductive rights and access to healthcare.
The incident involved a young woman who found herself in a life-threatening situation due to complications in her pregnancy. In such cases, emergency abortion services are crucial to protect the health and well-being of the woman. However, the woman’s access to these services was denied due to the restrictive abortion laws in Texas.
Democrats and the Biden campaign have been vocal in their condemnation of this incident. They argue that blocking emergency abortion services not only violates a woman’s right to choose but also endangers her life. The incident highlights the urgent need for comprehensive reproductive healthcare that respects women’s autonomy and ensures their safety.
President Joe Biden, a staunch supporter of women’s reproductive rights, has expressed his concern over the incident. He believes that every woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body and have access to safe and legal abortion services when necessary. The Biden campaign has pledged to protect and expand reproductive rights, ensuring that incidents like this do not happen again.
Democratic lawmakers have also been vocal in their condemnation. They argue that the blocking of emergency abortion services is a direct attack on women’s rights and an infringement on their bodily autonomy. They are pushing for legislation that protects and expands access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion services.
Pro-choice advocates and women’s rights organizations have joined the chorus of criticism against the blocking of emergency abortion services. They argue that such restrictions disproportionately affect marginalized communities, who often face greater barriers in accessing healthcare. They stress the importance of ensuring that all women, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location, have access to the reproductive healthcare they need.
The incident in Texas has reignited the debate over reproductive rights in America. It has highlighted the ongoing struggle to protect and expand access to abortion services, especially in states with restrictive laws. Democrats and the Biden campaign are committed to fighting for women’s reproductive rights and ensuring that incidents like this do not occur in the future.
It is essential to recognize that the blocking of emergency abortion services not only affects individual women but also has broader societal implications. When women are denied access to safe and legal abortion services, they are forced to seek alternative, often unsafe methods, putting their lives at risk. This is why it is crucial to protect and expand reproductive healthcare services to ensure the well-being and autonomy of all women.
In conclusion, the blocking of emergency abortion services for a Texas woman has sparked outrage among Democrats and the Biden campaign. They condemn this incident as a violation of women’s reproductive rights and a threat to their health and well-being. The incident underscores the urgent need to protect and expand access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare services, including safe and legal abortion. Democrats and the Biden campaign are committed to fighting for women’s reproductive rights and ensuring that incidents like this do not happen again.
Biden called out by pro-life Democrat running protest campaign in gruesome anti-abortion ad
A pro-life progressive activist, who launched a protest campaign over President Biden’s stance on abortion, says she’s planning to call out pro-choice members of her party with a gruesome ad.
“I chose to run for president for the purpose of running these ads,” Terrisa Bukovinac told Fox News Digital on Monday.
“I had a life-changing experience in March of 2022. I recovered the remains of 115 aborted children, and five of them were past the age of viability. They were thrown into a box labeled medical waste and were headed for an incinerator in Baltimore. Disrupting that delivery of those fetal remains to the incinerator has rocked my world. There’s just no coming back from that.”
Bukovinac, former founder of Pro-Life San Francisco and Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), and former president of Democrats for Life of America, said being a federal candidate means any FCC TV station in any state where she is on the ballot must run her ads without censorship. Her candidacy is frequently not mentioned in reports about Biden’s challengers on the Democratic side, but she has one goal in mind.

“Any state where I’m on the ballot, if there is an FCC signal that travels into those state lines, then they will be required by law to run my ad,” she explained.
“For example, in New Hampshire, I will be able to run ads out of Boston because the signal reaches into New Hampshire. I’m also targeting New Jersey. I would like to run ads there that will run into the Manhattan market. I’m also looking at getting on the ballot in Washington, D.C., which is one of the world’s largest media markets and which will lend to the greatest exposure of the American people to these images, to these victims.”
It’s a statement supported by federal telecommunications law stating that television stations “shall have no power of censorship over the material” in campaign ads.
Hamline University political science professor David Schultz told VERIFY from Minneapolis NBC affiliate KARE 11 that the rationale behind prohibiting ad censorship is “the idea that candidates get to say what they want, and the voters get to sort through the marketplace of ideas and decide what’s true, what’s false.”
Bukovinac threw her hat in the ring back in September on the premise of calling out the “abortion industrial complex” and officials in her own party she says are behind the pro-choice push, including President Biden.
PROGRESSIVE PRO-LIFERS THROW WRENCH INTO MEDIA ABORTION NARRATIVE
Terrisa Bukovinac speaks in front of the Supreme Court.
“I have seen the victims of the abortion extremism that comes from my party, the Democratic Party, and it is a direct result of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ abortion policy, and I am determined to show these victims to the American people,” she continued.
Bukovinac also told Fox News Digital she’s shaking up the party in hopes of bringing about justice for five nearly full-term aborted fetuses that, according to PAAU’s website, were recovered from a box outside an abortion center in Washington, D.C. after being handed over by a whistleblower in March 2022.
Bukovinac’s ad shows gruesome footage of the bodies that were labeled as “medical waste.” Many are in pieces. One appears to still be inside the amniotic sac. Another, almost fully developed, has one eye open.
The ad’s message to Democrats is to never vote for another pro-choice member of the party again.
“We can provide for the working class and resist this extremism,” she said in the ad, calling them “the faces of a genocide.”
Bukovinac said she additionally hopes her campaign will encourage Congress to hold hearings on the abortion issue and eventually pass a national ban.
PROGRESSIVE PRO-LIFE GROUP LAUNCHES, SAYS ‘ABORTION-INDUSTRIAL-COMPLEX’ PUTS PROFITS OVER PEOPLE
Terrisa Bukovinac speaks at an event as supporters hold up signs behind her.
“This is an attempt to show the American people what abortion extremism has done to these children and to give a voice to the fact that there are leftists like myself who recognize that abortion is a grave human rights violation and not something to be embraced by anyone, regardless of political party,” she said.
In the process, she’s determined to prove to voters that “pro-life” and “progressive” are more complimentary than contrary, that messages of equality pushed by her party should also extend to equality for the unborn.
Bukovinac says the ad has already been recorded and, once her campaign raises enough money to purchase the ad spot, it will run in New Hampshire.
“It’s exactly the message that we’re hoping to deliver to voters in New Hampshire. Joe Biden is not running for president in New Hampshire. He has completely snubbed the New Hampshire primary, so there’s very few options on the Democratic side. We’re looking at Marianne Williamson [and] Representative Dean Phillips, and I think that there’s a really good chance that voters could be impacted by this ad and that, potentially, we can show that a pro-life Democrat can perform well in a place like New Hampshire.”
Talk About Abortion, Don’t Talk About Trump: Governors Give Biden Advice
America’s Democratic governors brag about booming local economies, preside over ribbon-cuttings of projects paid for with new federal legislation and have successfully framed themselves as defenders of abortion rights and democracy.
Almost all of them are far more popular in their home states than the Democratic president they hope to re-elect next year.
While President Biden is mired in the political doldrums of low approval ratings and a national economy that voters are sour on, Democratic governors are riding high, having won re-election in red-state Kentucky last month and holding office in five of the seven most important presidential battleground states.
The governors, like nearly all prominent Democrats, are publicly projecting confidence: In interviews and conversations with eight governors at their annual winter gathering at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix over the weekend, they expressed on-the-record optimism that Mr. Biden would win re-election.
But also like many Democrats, some privately acknowledged fears that former President Donald J. Trump could win a rematch with Mr. Biden. They also said that Mr. Biden, at 81 years old, might not compare well with a younger Republican like Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida or even former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.
The governors offered a series of explanations for Mr. Biden’s political struggles and supplied free advice. Here are six ways they believe he can raise his standing ahead of next year’s election.
Talk more about abortion.
Mr. Biden barely says the word abortion in his public statements, a fact that frustrates fellow governors hoping he can, as many of them have, use anger over the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade to improve his political fortunes.
“We should talk about all the threats to women’s health care, including abortion, and use that word specifically,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. “We should be talking about it like that because Americans are awake. They are angry that this right could be stripped away and we are the only ones fighting for it.”
On abortion politics, Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey acknowledged that “it’s widely known that this is probably an uncomfortable reality for him,” given that Mr. Biden, a practicing Catholic, once voted in the Senate to let states overturn Roe v. Wade and his stance on abortion rights has evolved over the years.
Mr. Murphy said Mr. Biden must be forthright about discussing the likelihood that Republicans would aim to enact new abortion restrictions if they win control of the federal government in 2024 and emphasizing the Democratic position that decisions about abortion should be left to women and their doctors.
“That has to be laid out in a much more crystal-clear, explicit, affirmative way,” he said.
Stop talking about Trump.
The governors broadly agreed that Mr. Trump would be the Republican nominee. They don’t love Mr. Biden’s recent turn to focus more attention on his predecessor.
“You’ve got to run for something and not against someone,” said Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky. That is easy for Mr. Beshear to say — he is among the nation’s most popular governors and just won re-election in a deep-red state.
Gov. Laura Kelly of Kansas urged the president to stop talking about Mr. Trump altogether. Be positive, she said, and let others carry the fight to Mr. Trump.
“If I were in Biden’s shoes, I would not talk about Trump,” she said. “I would let other people talk about Trump.”
Appeal to moderate Republicans and independents.
Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota also said Mr. Biden needed to adopt some of Mr. Trump’s penchant for bragging.
“He’s been modest for so long, to watch him do it now feels a little uncomfortable,” Mr. Walz said.
Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina said his constituents were hoping Republicans would nominate someone other than Mr. Trump.
Mr. Murphy said hopefully that Republicans supporting someone else in their primary might stay home or wind up voting for Mr. Biden next year.
“What if Trump is the nominee? What’s the behavior pattern among the Haley, DeSantis and Chris Christie supporters? Where do they go?” Mr. Murphy said. “I find it hard to believe that a majority of them are going to Trump.”
Tell people what Biden’s done.
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, fresh off a prime-time Fox News debate against Mr. DeSantis that seemed meant in part to elevate the ambitious Mr. Newsom to the role of Mr. Biden’s leading defender, lamented “the gap between performance and perception.”
He was one of several governors who said their constituents felt good about their lives but were pessimistic about the state of the country.
“People feel pretty good about their states, feel pretty good about their communities, even their own lived lives,” Mr. Newsom said. “You ask, ‘How are you doing?’ They say, ‘We’re doing great, but this country’s going to hell.’”
Mr. Newsom said Mr. Biden’s biggest problem was that he had not been able to communicate to voters that he is responsible for improvements in their lives.
“People just don’t know the record,” he said. “They don’t hear it. They never see it.”
In North Carolina, which last week became the 40th state to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, Mr. Cooper said people who are newly eligible for health care were not likely to credit Mr. Biden or White House policies.
“The people who are getting it don’t really associate it with anybody other than finally being able to get health care for themselves,” he said.
Focus more attention on legislative achievements.
The governors all seemed to agree that they would like to see Mr. Biden spend more time cutting ribbons and attending groundbreakings for new projects paid for by infrastructure, climate and semiconductor funding he signed into law.
“I would be doing those morning, noon and night,” Mr. Murphy said.
Ms. Kelly of Kansas, who won her red state twice, said Mr. Biden should announce the opening of new projects and factories because she said it would focus attention away from his age.
“I would spend a lot of time doing those just because they’re relatively easy and they are energizing,” she said.
And Mr. Walz, whom his fellow governors voted the new chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, said Mr. Biden’s challenge would be explaining to people the future benefits of investments being made now.
“The problem is going to be, it’s going to take us 20 years to build all this infrastructure out,” Mr. Walz said. “Whether they see it within the next 11 months or not, that’s what we need to tell the story.”
Find some Democrats with enthusiasm.
No governor at the Phoenix gathering expressed more desire to give Mr. Biden another term in the White House than Mr. Newsom, who used a 40-minute chat with reporters to take a victory lap from his debate with Mr. DeSantis, a ratings bonanza for the Fox News host Sean Hannity that doubled as the largest audience of the California governor’s political career.
Mr. Newsom, who since the middle of last year has evolved from a friendly critic of Mr. Biden’s political messaging to one of his most enthusiastic supporters, said his fellow governors needed to perform like old-school politicians who could deliver a constituency for an ally through force of will by activating supporters to follow political commands.
“We, the Democratic Party, need to get out there on behalf of the leader of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden, and make the case and do it with pride,” Mr. Newsom said. “We’ve got to wind this thing up.”
The task may be difficult. Mr. Cooper described “a general malaise and frustration” that has Americans blaming Mr. Biden for forces often beyond his control.
But Mr. Newsom said that if others were wary of carrying the torch for Mr. Biden in the next year, he was not afraid to do so all by himself.
“If no one’s showing up doing stuff, I’m going to show up,” he said. “I can’t take it. I can’t take the alternative. I can’t even conceive it.”
