rights movement has always been consistent and always been clear. their goal has always been to and all abortion access in america. anyone ever talk to in the last several years has made that very clear. since the overturning of roe, i think the real confusion lies with the members of the republican party in which many of the anti abortion rights activists have found their space of support there in terms of legislation and policy making. the republican party is not speaking with one voice when it comes to what the future of any abortion access in america will look like. and the problem is this, in a post-roe reality, this is where the rubber meets the road. now we have this mosaic, this hodgepodge of policies and across the country. your rights as a woman to make decisions about your party and pregnancy really depend on where you live, on which state you live in. and i think if you look at
court s decision to overturn roe v. wade this summer, many states across the country have strict abortion bans that forced clinics to shut down, changing the landscape of abortion access in america. over the course of the past five months, abortion rights advocates have been quietly racking up little victories. they ve blocked from taking effect, and prevented of their decisions that could affect abortion rights. since roe is overturned, at least ten states have succeeded in stopping their state governments from enforcing an abortion ban. at least temporarily. just last week, a judge in georgia ruled that the states six-week abortion ban was unconstitutional because it was for us and acted in 2019 while roe was still the law of the land. at this, the sweeping successive ballot measures that result in voters opting to protect abortion rights in all six instances. it appears the abortion rights movements is having some new forward momentum.
also because it is politically popular to protect abortion access in america. but the closing argument also has to include this economic case. it has to include the fact that republicans, if they get power, are going to track the global economy slot they can help the rich. and they are going to screw over working people like they have done before. it is the best contrast democrats have. it happens to be the truth. and i really do think the democratic candidates need to hammer that home. every single day between now and election day. do you think that is gonna be obama s message. he is going out on the trail, i will note, not as much as biden is going out on the trail. what do you make of that? and also, was the podium really the problem in terms of obama s handing to professorial? i mean, that s what he thinks. yeah, it was the podium. [laughs] no, he could, he won t he can sign professorial because he can be professorial. but no, i do think that will be the core of obama s messa
because this is like their core economic philosophy. they re going to make inflation worse by giving a bunch of tax cuts out to people that are going to spend more money. i wonder whether democrats have not made enough hay about that. given the comments, you know, kevin mccarthy. no. we haven t. we re going to hold the global economy hostage to give the wealthy more money. bernie sanders is really vocal. he is doing his own stump campaign. he is saying, look, we cannot just focus on reproductive choice as the issue for the mid terms. we ve got to be stronger on an economic message. i sense that you would agree with sanders on that. look, i don t think it s an either/or. campaigns, they run plenty of ads. there is a stump speech. talk about both. you have to talk about reproductive rights both for the moral reasons but also because it s also politically popular to protect abortion access in america. but the closing argument also
doing his own stunned campaign. he is saying, look,, we cannot just focus on reproductive choice as the issue for the midterms. we have got to be stronger on an economic message. and i sense that you would agree with sanders on that. yeah look, we talked about this on the pod today. like, i don t think it s an either or. right? campaigns they have, they run plenty of ads. there is a stump speech, you can talk about. both like, you have to talk about reproductive rights. both for the moral reasons, but also because it is politically popular to protect abortion access in america. but the closing argument also has to include this economic case. it has to include the fact that republicans, if they get power, are going to track the global economy slot they can help the rich. and they are going to screw over working people like they have done before. it is the best contrast democrats have. it happens to be the truth. and i really do think the democratic candidates need to hammer that home.
