President Joe Biden and his Democrat allies in \u200bCongress are planning to use his \u20642024 State of the Union address to\u2063 push\u2063 their agenda on abortion and assisted reproductive technology for \u200dall. They intend to do this by spreading\u2062 fear \u200band\u200b misinformation \u200cabout \u2063pro-life policies.<\/p>\n

A White\u2064 House memo released<\/a> \u2063 on Thursday warns that Biden’s speech will be filled with lies\u200b aimed\u2064 at diverting attention from the\u200b Democrats’ extreme stance\u200c on abortion.<\/p>\n

Politico confirmed that “President Joe Biden wants abortion rights \u2064to be a centerpiece<\/a> of\u2062 his rematch with Donald Trump this fall.”<\/p>\n

The \u200dFight \u2064for ‘Abortion For All’<\/h2>\n
In his 2023 State of the Union<\/a>, Biden portrayed life-saving \u2063legislation \u200bin Republican states as “extreme” and misrepresented Republican efforts to align\u200d U.S. \u2063abortion laws with those of \u2064 other \u2062civilized countries<\/a> as a “national abortion ban.”<\/p>\n
While introducing a bill that imposes limits on\u200c abortion,\u200d which \u200bnearly 7 in 10\u200d Americans<\/a> agree\u2063 with, is not \u200dextreme,\u2062 it\u2063 would be extreme to pass sweeping legislation that goes beyond “codifying Roe v. \u200dWade”<\/a> and legalizes \u200cunlimited, on-demand abortion throughout all nine months in all \u206250 states, as Biden promised during the 2022\u200c midterms.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Biden plans to repeat the claim that “millions of Americans are living under extreme state abortion bans” during his speech.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
As part of his strategy, Biden has invited\u200c Kate Cox, \u200ba Texas woman who traveled out of state to have \u200ban abortion due to a fetal diagnosis, to be the First Lady’s honored guest. Cox’s presence \u2062is meant to provide Biden \u2064with ammunition to spread \u2062falsehoods about pro-life\u200d states and\u200d policies. He\u2063 will\u200d likely \u200dclaim that Republicans want \u2062residents of red\u2064 states like Cox to endure “forced pregnancy”<\/a>, using manipulative and inaccurate language.<\/p>\n
Contrary to Biden’s \u2064narrative, every pro-life law\u2064 allows medical professionals\u200c to treat ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or any other potentially fatal complications<\/a>. \u200cEven after the Supreme\u200c Court’s \u200c Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em> ruling, which Democrats often blame for \u2064pro-life policies, 48\u2064 out of 50 states\u200b have \u2062clear exceptions\u2063 for induced abortion<\/a> \u2063when a mother’s life is\u2063 in \u200cserious jeopardy. At least 15\u2063 of \u2063those states also have exceptions for abortions \u200din \u2064cases of rape, incest, or when the fetus has a condition likely \u2062to be fatal.<\/p>\n
Yet,\u200d Biden will use Cox’s story \u200bto instill fear in voters, \u200bmaking\u2064 them believe that they will\u200c be neglected if \u2062they face \u2062any pregnancy complications. He will claim that pro-life \u2064laws are “putting \u200bwomen’s \u200dhealth and\u2064 lives at risk and threatening\u200c doctors with jail time, including life \u2062in prison, for \u2064providing the health care they have\u200b been trained to\u200d provide,” even though 96 \u2064percent of\u2063 abortions<\/a> are performed for\u2062 elective, \u200cnon-medical reasons.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
In\u2063 2023, Cox made the\u200b decision to selectively abort her unborn baby, who had been diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a genetic condition \u2063that can lead \u200cto various complications. She\u200c argued that\u200c carrying\u2062 a child with a potentially\u2062 short lifespan \u2063put her at risk of\u2062 infection and uterine rupture, which could affect her \u200bfuture pregnancies.<\/p>\n
Texas law allows \u2063abortions to\u2062 save \u2063the mother’s life or prevent “substantial impairment of major bodily function.”<\/a> When Cox’s doctors\u2063 refused\u200c her request\u2063 for an abortion, they \u200dessentially confirmed that carrying the baby to term, even if the baby wouldn’t survive, did not pose an immediate threat\u2063 to Cox’s life.<\/p>\n
Cox partnered with the abortion advocacy group Center \u200bFor Reproductive Rights to challenge\u2063 Texas’ pro-life law, which prohibits abortions after six \u200dweeks\u2064 gestation<\/a>. The Texas\u2063 Supreme Court quickly ruled<\/a> that Cox did not qualify for \u200can abortion under state \u2063law.\u2062 However, Cox had already traveled out of state to have her unborn child’s life terminated without\u200c scrutiny.<\/p>\n

ART For \u200dAll, Too<\/h2>\n
Biden’s \u200dblame game doesn’t \u200dend with abortion.\u2063 In addition \u200dto advocating for “abortion for all,” Biden plans to criticize the Alabama\u200b Supreme Court \u200cfor its recent ruling \u200dthat embryos are protected under\u2062 the state’s Wrongful Death of a\u2063 Minor Act, which has\u2062 led to a halt in in vitro fertilization \u200d(IVF)\u200c procedures in\u2062 the state.<\/p>\n
The White House claims that \u200c”Republicans’ extreme out-of-touch agenda has \u2064put access to\u200d fertility treatments \u200dat risk \u2064for families who are desperately trying\u2062 to get pregnant.”<\/p>\n
Contrary \u200bto the White House’s\u200d assertions, the Alabama court’s ruling did not address how fertility\u200c clinics should handle ART or embryo creation. In reality, \u2063fertility facilities\u2064 chose to pause their IVF \u200doperations after \u2062determining that creating and\u200c discarding unlimited \u2063embryos could expose \u2063them \u200cto \u200dlegal \u2064liability<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Biden will use Latorya Beasley, Jill Biden’s guest at the\u2064 State of the Union, whose embryo transfer was canceled by an Alabama provider, as a \u200bjustification\u200c to attack pro-life decisions that “disrupted access to reproductive health care for women and families across \u200bthe country.” He will also bring up Democrats’ radical ART \u2063legislation<\/a>,\u200b which \u200bwas recently blocked<\/a> by \u2063Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, in \u2062an attempt to\u200c shift blame to state and \u200cnational Republicans’ pro-life policies, even though they\u200c have\u2063 no connection to IVF.<\/p>\n
By linking the\u2063 abortion debate \u2063to the recent ART controversy, Biden inadvertently\u200d exposes the hypocrisy of Democrats’ extreme stance on unborn babies. \u2064He confirms that this fight is not about caring for women or children, \u2063but rather about \u200ballowing the\u200b termination or creation of children based\u2063 on personal whims and at any cost.<\/p>\n

What evidence is there to support the claim that President Biden’s previous State of the Union address \u200cmisrepresented Republican efforts on abortion and portrayed life-saving legislation\u200b as \u200cextreme?<\/h2>\n
President Biden’s\u200b State of the Union Address: Spreading Fear and Misinformation on Abortion and Assisted Reproductive Technology”<\/p>\n
President Joe Biden and his Democrat allies in Congress \u200dare using the upcoming State of the Union Address \u200cin 2024 as a platform to push their agenda on abortion and assisted reproductive technology for all. Their strategy involves spreading fear and misinformation about pro-life policies, as\u2062 outlined \u2063in a recent White\u2063 House memo.<\/p>\n
The memo, released\u2062 on Thursday, warns that Biden’s speech will be filled with lies aimed at \u2064diverting attention from the Democrats’ extreme stance on abortion. Politico has confirmed that Biden wants abortion rights to be a centerpiece of his \u2063rematch with Donald Trump later this year.<\/p>\n
In his previous State\u200d of the Union address in 2023, Biden misrepresented Republican efforts to align U.S. abortion laws with those of other civilized countries as a “national \u200dabortion ban,” while \u200dportraying life-saving legislation in Republican states as “extreme.” However, introducing a \u2063bill that imposes \u200blimits on abortion, which 7 in 10 Americans agree with, is\u2062 not extreme. It would \u2062be extreme to pass sweeping legislation that goes beyond “codifying Roe v. \u2063Wade” and \u2063legalizes unlimited, on-demand abortion throughout all nine months in all 50 states, as Biden promised\u200d during the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, \u2063Biden plans to repeat the claim that “millions of\u2064 Americans are living under extreme state abortion bans” during his speech. To further his agenda,\u200d Biden has invited Kate Cox, who traveled out of state to have an \u2063abortion due\u200c to a fetal diagnosis, to be the First Lady’s \u200dhonored guest. Cox’s presence is meant\u2064 to provide\u200c Biden with ammunition to spread falsehoods about pro-life states and policies, \u200cusing manipulative and inaccurate language.<\/p>\n
Contrary to Biden’s narrative, every pro-life law allows medical \u200bprofessionals to treat ectopic\u2062 pregnancy, miscarriage, or \u2063any other potentially fatal complications. Even after the Supreme Court’s\u200b Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, 48 out of 50 states have clear exceptions for induced abortion when a mother’s life is in serious jeopardy. At\u200b least 15 of those states also have exceptions for abortions in cases \u200dof rape, incest, or when the fetus has a condition likely to be\u200b fatal.<\/p>\n
Despite these facts, Biden will use Cox’s story to instill fear in voters, making them believe that they will be neglected \u2062if they face any pregnancy complications. He will claim that pro-life laws are putting women’s health and lives at risk and\u200c threatening doctors with jail time, even\u2062 though 96 percent of abortions are \u200cperformed for \u2064elective, non-medical reasons.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Cox made the \u200ddecision to selectively abort her unborn\u200c baby, who had been diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a genetic condition that can lead to various complications. Texas \u200claw\u2064 allows abortions to save the mother’s life or prevent “substantial impairment of major bodily function.” When Cox’s doctors refused her request for an abortion, they essentially confirmed that carrying the baby to term, even if the baby wouldn’t survive, did not pose an immediate threat to Cox’s life.<\/p>\n
Cox partnered with the abortion advocacy group Center for Reproductive Rights to\u2063 challenge Texas’ pro-life law, which prohibits abortions after six weeks gestation. The Texas Supreme Court ruled that Cox did not qualify for an abortion under state law. However, Cox had already traveled out of state\u2062 to terminate her unborn child’s life without scrutiny.<\/p>\n
In addition to pushing for “abortion for all,” Biden plans to criticize the Alabama Supreme Court for its recent ruling \u200dthat embryos are protected under the state’s Wrongful Death of a\u2063 Minor Act, leading to a halt in in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures in the state. The White House claims that Republicans’ extreme out-of-touch agenda has put access to fertility treatments at risk for families \u2064who are\u2063 desperately trying to get pregnant.<\/p>\n
President Biden’s\u200b State of the \u200bUnion Address has become \u2062a platform for spreading fear and misinformation on\u2063 abortion and assisted reproductive technology. This\u2063 tactic\u200c not only disregards\u200c the \u2064rights of the unborn but also distorts\u2063 the truth to advance a \u200bpolitical agenda.\u2062 It is crucial for the \u200cAmerican public to critically\u200b examine these\u200c claims and understand the implications of the policies being advocated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
