The Biden campaign said in a call with reporters that President Trump is upset about the abortion issue as he is scheduled to give a speech on reproductive freedom in Florida.
“Biden-Harris 2024 communications director Michael Tyler said:
There's nearly a week left until the state's most extreme anti-abortion law goes into effect. Florida's ban would deprive many women of access to reproductive health care before they even know they are pregnant. As if that weren't bad enough, Florida's ban would effectively impose a total abortion ban on the entire southeastern United States. Since Roe was overturned, bans have gone into effect in Georgia and all other neighboring states of Florida. As a result, Florida's number of out-of-state abortion patients nearly doubled.
Currently, many women in the Southeast may have to drive several days or more to get to the Pulse Clinic, which is already experiencing strained resources with many patients coming from out of state. There is one person to blame for this atrocity, and that is Donald Trump. President Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade.
