Is the president setting himself up, potentially, for failure?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre deflected on the question about the midterms, citing the Hatch Act as the reason she couldn\u2019t get into the politics of the situation. She then pivoted back to abortion, arguing that Biden was only weighing in on the issue because Republicans were putting \u201cwomen\u2019s health at risk\u201d and \u201ccriminalizing doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, what you heard from the president is his continuous fight to fight for millions of women across the country when we saw what the Supreme Court did in this unconscionable decision to overturn Roe. It put millions of women\u2019s lives at risk,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s what\u2019s at stake, Wolf, and this is why this is so important, and this is why you will continue to hear from this president on this issue, and we have, is that we\u2019re seeing these draconian laws across the country in \u2014 by Republicans that are putting forth laws that, again, is going to put women\u2019s health at risk, but also criminalizing doctors for doing their jobs,\u201d Jean-Pierre continued.<\/p>\n<p>Recent polling indicates that more Americans are concerned about the economy than they are about abortion rights, however.
