Arizona voters will get to decide in November whether to add the right to an abortion to the state constitution.
The Arizona secretary of state’s office said Monday that it had certified 577,971 signatures — far above the required number that the coalition supporting the ballot measure had to submit in order to put the question before voters.
The coalition, Arizona for Abortion Access, said it is the most signatures validated for a citizens initiative in state history.
During Clarence Thomas’s nomination hearings in 1991, Biden’s questions on constitutional issues were often convoluted to the point that Thomas sometimes lost track of them,[115] and Thomas later wrote that Biden’s questions were akin to “beanballs”.[116] After the committee hearing closed, the public learned that Anita Hill, a University of Oklahoma law school professor, had accused Thomas of making unwelcome sexual comments when they had worked together.[117][118] Biden had known of some of these charges, but initially shared them only with the committee because Hill was then unwilling to testify.[16] The committee hearing was reopened and Hill testified, but Biden did not permit testimony from other witnesses, such as a woman who had made similar charges and experts on harassment.[119] The full Senate confirmed Thomas by a 52–48 vote, with Biden opposed.[16] Liberal legal advocates and women’s groups felt strongly that Biden had mishandled the hearings and not done enough to support Hill.[119] In 2019, he told Hill he regretted his treatment of her, but Hill said afterward she remained unsatisfied.[120]
During his early years in the Senate, Biden focused on consumer protection and environmental issues and called for greater government accountability.[82] In a 1974 interview, he described himself as liberal on civil rights and liberties, senior citizens’ concerns and healthcare, but conservative on other issues, including abortion and military conscription.[83]
Biden is the same now as he has always been
when has he ever tried to defend women’s rights
You don’t seem to be very familiar with how the U.S. government works, so I will have to educate you:
I know you really want to blame Biden for this, but maybe do it after taking a basic civics course.
misunderstood
blaming Biden for being a lame duck politician for half a century who did not do anything to advance progress
See, the problem with you claiming you aren’t blaming Biden for the end of Roe v. Wade is that you literally blamed him for ending it just a few comments above.
Removed by mod
The Roe v. Wade decision happened the same year Biden was elected to the senate.
So based on your own argument, he was also responsible for abortion being legal for 50 years.
was on shaky ground for fifty years because it was never put into law or properly defended
Democrats never got a true hard on for codifying Roe v. Wade
just say whatever it takes to get donations and votes
That wasn’t a response to what I said.
Based on your logic, Joe Biden is personally responsible for abortion being legalized in the United States.
I’m sorry you don’t like your own logic.
