Karine Jean-Pierre claims: ‘We had more rights growing up’ than kids do today.White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lamented that parents today have fewer rights than they did growing up, citing the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Jean-Pierre attributed the ruling to the Trump administration, stating that it has led to “chaos” and a loss of constitutional rights for Americans.
“The reason why we have chaos right now after the Dobbs decision, the reason why, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, overturned after being constitutional law for over 50 years, is because of what Donald Trump did in his administration,” Jean-Pierre emphasized. She highlighted the Biden administration’s efforts to protect abortion rights and other freedoms, contrasting their efforts with those of “extreme Republicans.”
Jean-Pierre’s comments coincided with the 2-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and effectively ended the recognition of a constitutional right to abortion. The ruling gave individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether.
To mark the anniversary, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” also spoke to Vice President Kamala Harris and Hadley Duvall, a survivor of rape and pregnancy. Duvall shared her personal story of being raped by her stepfather as a child and becoming pregnant, emphasizing the importance of reproductive rights and access to safe and legal abortion.
“The reason why we have chaos right now after the Dobbs decision, the reason why, after Roe v. Wade was overturned, overturned after being constitutional law for over 50 years, is because of what Donald Trump did in his administration,” Jean-Pierre continued.
Harris echoed Jean-Pierre’s sentiments, stating that the election is about preserving fundamental freedoms. “Let’s be perfectly clear about how we got here. Because the former president [Donald Trump] hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did exactly as he intended,” Harris said.
She warned that if the right to make decisions about one’s own body can be taken away, other freedoms may also be at risk. “Every person, of whatever gender, should understand that if such a fundamental freedom, such as the right to make decisions about your own body, can be taken, be aware of what other freedoms may be at stake,” Harris emphasized.
The conversation highlighted the stark contrast between the Biden administration’s stance on reproductive rights and that of the Trump administration and extremist Republicans. While the Biden administration has taken steps to protect access to abortion and reproductive healthcare, the Trump administration’s legacy has led to a rollback of these rights.
As the election season heats up, the issue of reproductive rights is likely to take center stage. The Biden administration’s commitment to protecting these rights will be a key aspect of their campaign, while extremist Republicans will likely continue to push for further restrictions on abortion and reproductive healthcare.
In conclusion, the anniversary of the Dobbs decision serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting reproductive rights and freedoms. The Biden administration
