Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday said that the Biden administration wasnt looking into allowing abortions to be performed on federal land in states that restrict the procedure following the Supreme Courts Friday decision reversing Roe v. Wade. The idea was put forward Friday by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and echoed Sunday by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) after the court rescinded federal abortion rights and allowed states to set their own policies. Harris is the first woman to hold her post, but she faced criticism from abortion rights advocates who said she seemed aloof by releasing a photo of herself watching cable news coverage of the court ruling from Air Force Two. CNN reporter Dana Bash asked Harris in an interview Monday, Can the administration expand abortion access or abortion services on federal land meaning provide the access on federal land that might be in around states that ban abortion? I think that what is most important right now is that we ensure that the restrictions that the states are trying to put up that would prohibit a woman from exercising what we still maintain is her right, that we do everything we can to empower women to not only seek but to receive the care where it is available, Harris said.

Is federal land one of those options? Bash pressed. I mean, its not right now what we are discussing, Harris said, before turning the conversation toward the November midterm elections, which Republicans have been favored to win due to public frustration at high inflation and record gas prices. I will say that when I think about what is happening in terms of the states, we have to also recognize, Dana, that we are 130 odd days away from an election, which is going to include Senate races right part of the issue here is that the court has acted and now Congress needs to act, Harris said. Ocasio-Cortez proposed using federal land to create islands of abortion access in restrictive states while speaking to protesters on the night of the ruling in New York Citys Union Square. There are also actions at President Bidens disposal that he can mobilize, AOC said. Ill start with the babiest of the babiest of the baby steps: Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now. Right now.

So basically they want to hold it over voters as an incentive to vote for them. Which is also how this was able to happen to begin with.

Good ideas from Progressives.

Establishment: Let not look into that and tell people to vote.

Technically I'm not even sure that's 100% true, since it only prevents funds from being used to pay for abortions. Additionally, it does allow for them to be used when the life of the mother is in danger, or for rape or incest. So even without getting rid of Hyde, there are ways to work around it.

So they're offered one thing they can possibly push through to reassure voters that they care and are actually doing something, and push it off to talk about the midterms

The Hyde Amendment only limits federal money used to directly fund abortion procedures through various healthcare programs (Medicaid, TRIcare, ACA subsidies, etc.). To my knowledge it doesnt have any provisions prohibiting, for example, leasing federal land or facilities to non-governmental entities that provide such services, as long as the government isnt paying for any abortions itself.

Yeah it's pretty dumb that Republicans are expected to win the midterms. Like people would rather vote for representatives that don't have their interests in mind because they're upset about gas prices and want to point the blame at the current ones in charge. It's also really dumb that the current administration is just telling people to vote in the midterms if they want to make a change which completely discredits people in the majority ran Republican states that can't afford to travel out of state if they do need an abortion.

They should do it.

I mean, Republican state attorneys or whatever will sue and get the conservative Supreme Court to rule against it. And leftist politicians will act shocked and say how could they do such a thing.

But this should still be done so that the administration can pretend that theyre getting something done.

Establishment Democrats would rather put on bullshit shows like singing or reading poems than actually do something to help people. Hell, they hate AOC and other progressives like her more than they hate Republicans and they also put in more effort to stop them as well. Top Democrats while not the biggest reason, are a significant part of why things are as bad as they are now.
