“Kamala and I will restore Roe v. Wade and make it once again the law of the land. Donald Trump will ban abortion nationwide. That is what is at stake this November,” the Democratic president warns.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred. That’s been the work of my first term.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s how U.S. President Joe Biden began the video<\/a> launch of his reelection campaign last year\u2014and now, with the primary season underway, the Democrat continues to emphasize the importance of freedom and the related issue of reproductive healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican front-runner, former President Donald Trump, and his MAGA movement have made clear that they are foes of abortion rights and other reproductive justice priorities, but Biden has work to do to win over some frustrated<\/a> voters, including those outraged about the maternal health crisis<\/a> created by the U.S.-backed Israeli war on the Gaza<\/a> Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really hard to believe that \u201cgenocide is a reproductive justice issue\u201d is a controversial statement among people who allegedly care about (white women\u2019s) access to reproductive healthcare.
