President Biden — Please send Vice President Kamala Harris to Texas NOW. Arrange a photo op with Kate Cox, then arrange the first in a series of press conferences with the following complimentary messages:
- Vice President Harris is going to do whatever it takes to save the life of Kate Cox by helping her end her pregnancy.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is a ghoul and a monster, needlessly endangering the life of a Texas citizen to pander to the most extreme elements of the anti-abortion right.
- This is the first endeavor of Vice-President Harris’s new role for the 2024 campaign. She is making it her business to be the tip of the spear in the effort to enshrine a woman’s right to have sovereignty over her own body. Wherever there is an outrageous case like this, she’ll be there. Wherever there is a ballot proposition to preserve (or create) abortion rights for women, she’ll be there.
This is a win-win-win for Democrats.
- WIN #1—Trump and Company are going to spend a lot of time running against “President” Kamala Harris. Nikki Haley has already said the hush-hush part out loud, telling Fox News that Joe Biden won’t survive his second term making a Harris presidency inevitable. Making Harris the champion of abortion rights for women puts her out front on the most popular, most persuasive issue the Democrats have.
- WIN #2—This gives Biden a chance to stay above the abortion fray and spend his time making his case on jobs and the economy.
- WIN #3—This gives every Democrat everywhere a chance to make this loud-and-proud argument: Abortion rights are on the ballot. Re-elect Trump and other Republicans and they will jam through a nationwide abortion ban. Trump might get two or three more Supreme Court picks—they will be Amy Comey Barrett clones. The ONLY way women will ever have sovereignty over their own bodies in this century is if the Democrats are in power. That fight starts HERE, NOW. Women — who would you rather have making decisions about your bodies? Kamala Harris, or Ken Paxton?
This last bit can’t be said too often: “Only the Democrats are on your side. Vote as if your life depends on it because it does. (And the lives of your daughters and granddaughters).
