U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday will sign an executive order designed to protect and expand access to contraception, after a Supreme Court ruling last year overturning the constitutional right to abortion raised fears that birth control could also face restrictions.
No… I was obviously referring to you providing no support of your claim that this will have little/no impact. As others have rightly pointed out, this will impact about 100 million Americans for the next year+ at least. An EO is permission for government workers to do more. It’s guidance for regulatory agencies and lawyers to show teeth with the full support of the white house. It does mean something, it’s also not a magic pen and paper. But many are better off today than they were yesterday and hopefully that increases with time.
Nobody claimed this was the one single and final fix for every one of the ills of society, but that seems to be the strawman you’re responding to.
I’ve made no such claim…
A meaningless gesture is a statement intended to make you feel better about the situation without solving the problem. You might also call it a symbolic gesture or a token gesture.
All I’ve said here is it’s not enough.
There is a HUGE delta between “meaningless” and “not enough”.
You can attempt to spin all you’d like, but people can read your comments and draw their own conclusions.
