Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to the media after touring Planned Parenthood, with Gov. Tim Walz and Planned Parenthood North Central States Chief Medical Officer Sarah Traxler, MD, on Thursday, March 14, 2024, in St. Paul, MN.
(Glen Stubbe / Star Tribune via Getty Images)Ever since the Dobbs decision, the fight for abortion rights has galvanized Democratic voters like nothing else. But in Joe Biden, the party had a presidential candidate who appeared tentative, uncomfortable, and out of touch with the reproductive justice movement. He could barely even say the word “abortion.”
Now that Kamala Harris, an enthusiastic defender of abortion rights who has led her party’s post-Dobbs response, has replaced Biden at the top of the 2024 ticket, there is a sense that reproductive freedom can once again take its place at the center of the Democratic campaign.
But how much has the approach to abortion really shifted post-Biden? On this episode of See How They Run, we’re joined by Regina Mahone, Nation senior editor, author of the Repro Nation newsletter, and the coauthor of Liberating Abortion: Claiming Our History, Sharing Our Stories, and Building the Reproductive Future We Deserve, which will be published on October 1 and is available for preorder now.

Support independent journalism that exposes oligarchs and profiteers
Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches.
Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now.
Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better world. Our writers, editors, and fact-checkers are working relentlessly to keep you informed and empowered when so much of the media fails to do so out of credulity, fear, or fealty.
The Nation has seen unprecedented times before. We draw strength and guidance from our history of principled progressive journalism in times of crisis, and we are committed to continuing this legacy today.
We’re aiming to raise $25,000 during our Spring Fundraising Campaign to ensure that we have the resources to expose the oligarchs and profiteers attempting to loot our republic. Stand for bold independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.
Onward,
