Whose constitutional right?
Even Kamala Harris ffs. If even she can’t say it…
WOMEN of color, WOMEN with low incomes. Not generic communities, not generic individuals, but specifically and exclusively WOMEN.
Updating with
Even worse – not just “communities” and “individuals” but also “people’s access.”
Am I the only one finding the Biden administration deeply disappointing? I wasn’t expecting much (and was very much a single issue voter) but damn, Afghanistan, Dr. Levine, this shit…
No, you’re not.
*raises hand*
Stick a fork in it.
I wonder if they even write their own tweets. This elimination of the word women is troubling, and who didn’t see this coming when Biden decided on a pronoun person for a running mate. I did, goddamnit. The thing that gets me is that they could be just as effective, just as inclusive, and just as accommodating of the far lefties without kneeling at the altar of the trans cult. I despise the dishonesty of this kind of extreme political correctness.
It’s not troubling, it’s a fucking outrage.
It is, and I’m waiting in dread of what’s next. I wonder if an effective defense of women’s rights can be mounted without using the word women. It’s almost a concession.
BK @1 I was deeply disappointed much earlier, around the primaries, but when the election came around, I couldn’t vote against both them and Trump. I wonder if they realize how many negative votes they got.
Apparently the original statements did use the word “women”, but the tweets were sanitized.

Over and over again I kept hearing how transgender ‘rights’ would in no way change or effect women’s rights. But when the ideology enabled some women to believe they weren’t women — and simultaneously encouraged them to feel insulted when their female anatomy was counted as female — the rest of us lost “women” as a political class. “Women’s rights” are now “people’s rights.” It’s more than semantics. The terms change the way we understand the issues.
The only side that considers abortion an issue which effects women prioritizes the fetus over the woman who carries it.
I’m not keen on Biden either, but compared with the orange loser …
My wife said when he was elected that it wouldn’t affect foreign policy, which would be the same as always. I thought she was unduly pessimistic, but maybe she was right.
I’m not disappointed with the Biden regime. Of course, that’s because I, unlike my neighbors, did not convince myself that it was going to be anything at all like good. I knew it was going to be bad, just like presidencies have been my whole life. I’m basically numb to the shittiness at this point.
Unfortunately, the priority was getting Trump out of office, which meant voting for the lesser evil. As I’ve said before, that is an algorithm for a death spiral. That Biden managed to pull us out of Afghanistan surprised the hell out of me. Relative to my expectations, then, the administration is actually in the positive.
I’m bothered that the Biden administration isn’t better than it is, but it’s better than I expected it would be. Very little grandiose overreach, practical focus, foreign policy less awful than I had feared. I’m glad he pulled the US out of Afghanistan, I’m surprised he did it, and I think things went better than I expected. So I’m also leaning toward the positive.
The Biden presidency would be better if he had a better Congress to work with. Sadly, it’s likely to get worse after next year’s midterms.
@8: The tweets were yeeted.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids men and women alike to get abortions.
