Washington — Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer urged President Biden to personally speak out about the abortion issue more in an interview Saturday with "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan, suggesting more "blunt language" on the subject "would be helpful."
Brennan noted that Mr. Biden has previously expressed reservations about abortion because of his Catholic faith, asking, "Does he need to talk about it more?"
"I think it would be good if he did," Whitmer responded.
The governor added, "I know one tenet of his belief system is that women and only women, with their families and healthcare professionals, are the ones who know what decision is right for them. And that he is fighting and going to continue to fight to make sure that that is squarely the ability of an American woman to make that decision."
Brennan followed up, "You think he needs to be the messenger on that more?"
"I don't think it would hurt," Whitmer replied. "I think people want to know that this is a president that is fighting. And I think he has said that. To use maybe more, you know, blunt language, maybe that would be helpful."
"Face the Nation" will air more of Brennan's interview with Whitmer on Sunday, Jan. 21.
The messaging advice from Whitmer — one of Mr. Biden's top surrogates, and a co-chair of his re-election bid – underscores the extent to which Democrats are hoping the national debate over abortion rights may affect voter turnout and support in November. Abortion access initiatives will be on the ballot in at least nine states this November, and the issue itself has become a heated topic during the Republican presidential primary.

Talk more bluntly about tearing up unborn babies Joe. Gretch thinks it will help you man.
Governor Jadis Witless is sick!!!
Gee Gretchen, maybe you could write a few words for him that he could read off his 3x5 cards.
She is demonic. You can see it in her eyes.
Actually would be nice if our side was better funded to counter these false ads blanketing the nation promoting radical pro-abortion policies as the family values vote and actually managing to convince significant numbers of people to vote for policies they actually don’t agree with. No where near a majority of people in Ohio, as one example, support elective abortions up to the moment of birth. Yet, they voted for it in large numbers.
Unfortunately, Gretchen Whitmer is right. Joe Biden needs to get all the women to vote for him. Talking about abortion is the way to do it.
True. But this is one of the issues where we have to concede and wave the white flag.
The second amendment is more important. We give them abortion, women will stop voting for the Democrats.
I don’t approve of abortion, but I think the world would have been a better place if Whitmer had been aborted.
I watched an intrauterine transfusion once years ago when I worked at a hospital. I saw the baby reach down to play with the needle. It changed me. Anyone who says these late term abortions are not murder is a damn liar. It’s not up to debate or just about one’s opinions. It’s a fact. It’s murder and democrats are campaigning for it. It’s very sick.
"Anyone who says these late term abortions are not murder is a damn liar."
BTTT this failure of doctors and other practitioners of "American Medicine."

Wretched wHitler ALERT!
I bumped into another abortion petition group in AZ.
Angry men hating women in their 60’s.
They are targeting MEN...so they can call you later and browbeat you.
The good news is they don’t seem to be having much luck in attracting attention.
Biden funds abortions on Friday and receives communion on Sunday.
Yup
People love being in a special class that allows them to legally murder another person, nothing else on earth like that power
