Top abortion rights groups endorse Biden.

Abortion Rights Groups Endorse Biden and Harris for Reelection in 2024

On the eve of the first anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned, three of the nation’s top abortion rights groups have offered their endorsements to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for reelection. This endorsement comes as a significant boost to their campaign.

“There is so much at stake. We know, clear as day, that if anti-abortion politicians gain control of the White House, they will exploit their power toward their ultimate goal: a national abortion ban,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. “That is why we must reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris: people we can trust to keep rebuilding a path forward, because we know the journey to rebuilding our rights will be met with challenges.”

EMILY’s List, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund have all praised the Biden administration for its policies on abortion rights and efforts to protect access to abortion. They believe that the reelection of Biden and Harris is crucial for the future of healthcare and to “push anti-abortion extremists out of office.”

Endorsement of Vice President Harris

EMILY’s List, a prominent pro-abortion rights group, specifically highlighted Vice President Harris’s voting record on abortion, emphasizing her importance to the ticket. This support builds upon multiple endorsements from the group during Harris’s Senate runs.

“Vice President Harris has been a steadfast fighter throughout her career for women and their abortion rights — a role that is more important than ever before,” the group stated. “Every day, Kamala Harris lives the directive of her mother that she may be the first, but she should make sure she’s not the last.”

These endorsements provide Biden and Harris with valuable ammunition as they enter the 2024 cycle. Democrats are looking to leverage the topic of abortion to motivate voter turnout, as it emerged as a major issue during the midterm elections.

A recent survey conducted by the Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research in conjunction with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee revealed that a majority of voters in key battleground states are concerned about Republicans passing a nationwide abortion ban. This concern could potentially give Democrats an advantage in the upcoming election. The poll showed that approximately 65% of all voters in those states believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, including about 40% of Republicans.

The endorsements come just one day before the first anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended nationwide access to abortion and returned the question of its legality to the states. Since then, lawmakers across the country have implemented further restrictions on the procedure or even banned it entirely. At least 14 states have enacted partial or total bans, while others have limited access.
