Democrats frustrated by party’s response to abortion ruling

Associated Press  

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — As Sen. Michael Bennet sought to encourage a small crowd of fellow Democrats not to give up the fight for abortion rights, Maryah Lauer stepped forward, bullhorn in hand, to exhort him to do more. “The Democrats are not doing enough.” The confrontation was a sign of the frustration among many Democrats after the Supreme Court’s decision last month to strip women of the constitutional right to abortion. “People want to feel like you’re looking at every option,” said Brian Fallon of Demand Justice, a Democratic group advocating court expansion, which Biden has rejected. “People in the Democratic Party may be disappointed with their leaders, but they understand, more graphically than ever, the threat the new right represents.” A recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found a growing percentage of Americans calling out abortion or women’s rights as priorities for the government. “We can’t just accept things the way they are.” It was after Bennet’s speech, when he joined local Democratic nominees onstage in a show of party unity, that Lauer and the others charged in.
