The move underscores the Biden campaign's strategy to tie stringent GOP-led abortion restriction efforts across the U.S. to former President Donald Trump.

President Biden’s reelection campaign is preparing to highlight abortion rights in the lead-up to the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, CBS News has learned, seeking to tie the upcoming election to a “woman’s right to make her own health care decisions — including the very possible reality of a MAGA Republican-led national abortion ban.”

The extensive plans include ad buys, campaign rallies and events across the U.S. organized in lockstep with the Democratic National Committee, which will launch opinion pieces in local newspapers focusing on statewide abortion bans.

Ahead of the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision on Jan. 22, television and digital ads highlighting the personal impact of abortion restrictions will air in swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a Biden-Harris campaign official.

    Implying he could have done anything else?

    List the exact actions Biden could have actually taken between Roe being struck down and now that he “waited to do” to make it a reelection issue.

    I swear Republicans will start imposing mandatory pregnancy tests at travel checkpoints between state borders and the white left will still find a way to make it the Democrats’ fault to justify not doing anything to stop the Republicans from coming back to power.

    Fuckin’ porcelain-american shit.

        So you’re mad that he’s making it a campaign issue because he didn’t explicitly make it one beforehand, which he did, you just either didn’t read the news when he did or forgot he did it.

        I’m as annoyed with Dems not being loud enough as the next guy but at a certain point it stops being their fault for being bad at communicating and yours for just refusing to listen.

        The article itself in the headline calls out that this is an effort that he’s been contributing to and is publicizing a fresh push in.

        Porcelain American Shit.
