John – Late on Friday, President Biden signed a new executive order the White House claimed would “aim to protect access to reproductive health services.” Moira Donegan, abortion rights advocate and columnist for The Guardian, said, “It’s better than nothing, but not much better.”
Moira is right. The order doesn’t contain a single concrete step to restore abortion care that has already been revoked in 13 states, nor stop abortion rights from being revoked anywhere else. “Better than nothing” isn’t going to cut it. We have a right to demand concrete, bold action to halt this right-wing assault on our liberties.
BNC’s first ever elected representative, AOC, is leading the progressive response to the overturn of Roe, with a CLEAR plan of action:
|
- Abolish the filibuster
- Codify Roe (which includes repealing the Hyde Amendment)
-
Expand the court
