“We have seen the Trump administration dehumanise us, and disregard our health, our rights, and our lives. Trump has attacked access to abortion and reproductive health care, and he has attacked the people that Planned Parenthood health centres serve: women, black people, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and more,” she claimed.

According to Johnson, Biden is the only candidate left in the race who will “stand up” for abortion at a time when the Trump administration has enacted policies that limit government funding for organisations that provide abortions domestically and overseas.

Last year, various state governments enacted pro-life laws designed to restrict abortion past specific points of pregnancy. As many as fifty-eight life-affirming laws were passed and signed into legislation across twenty-two states.

Biden had a one hundred per cent voting record from Planned Parenthood before he left the Senate in 2009 to become vice president under President Barack Obama. As a candidate, Biden has vowed to expand access to contraception and protect abortion rights, “including with his judicial nominations.”

In 2016, Planned Parenthood Action made its first-ever presidential endorsement when it backed Democrat nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That year, Planned Parenthood’s affiliated political groups spent just under fifteen million dollars on federal elections. During the 2020 campaign, Biden has shifted his views on abortion, as he no longer supports the Hyde Amendment, a law that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to support abortion.
