He Has Our Back!

Last night president Biden gave his State of the Union and he came out and told us that he has our back.

Folks, advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.

The constitutional right affirmed by Roe v. Wade — standing precedent for half a century — is under attack as never before.

If you want to go forward — not backwards — we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And continue to advance maternal health care for all Americans.

And folks, for our L.G.B.T.Q.+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is simply wrong.

I’ve said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I’ll always have your back as your president, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.

Folks, as I’ve just demonstrated, while it often appears that we do not agree, and that — we do agree on a lot more things than we acknowledge. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.

And we’ll soon be strengthening the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It’s important, it’s important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.

So tonight I’m offering a unity agenda for the nation. Four big things we can do together, in my view.

But there is one big obstruction preventing the passing of these bill and that is the Republican party and Sen. Manchin. Lets face it the Republicans hate us and women rights, they are doing everything to block the bills and Sen. Manchin is also against the bills and that sadly means that the votes are not there.

I hope that the Democrats introduce the bills separately to get the Republicans on record of voting against the bills.
