President Biden criticized Republicans for failing to understand how advancing women’s health not only improves the lives of women but also the prosperity of the entire nation. He made the comments during a first-of-its-kind briefing on women’s health research at the White House on Wednesday afternoon.
“The fact is that the health of our mothers and grandmothers, sisters and daughters, friends and colleagues affects not only the well-being of women, but the prosperity of the entire nation,” Biden said at the conference. “That’s a fact: we haven’t gotten it to the other team yet. I mean it, across the board.”
Meanwhile, Republicans questioned whether Democrats understand the need to protect women, citing in particular the Biden administration’s policies that sought to allow transgender women to use female biological spaces and play on women’s sports teams .

“Are any Democrats willing to stand up and stand up for girls and protect girls in private, in their private spaces, and protect girls in sports, not to force girls to participate in sports against men?” asked Tiffany Justice, the co-founder of the conservative nonprofit Moms for Liberty. “The idea that Democrats protect women or respect women is absolute nonsense.”
The justice pointed to Biden’s nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, “who was unwilling to define what a woman was” when pressed on the matter during his confirmation hearings.
Sarah Perry of the Heritage Foundation, a civil rights attorney with extensive experience litigating Title IX issues, noted that Biden’s comments had an underlying tone of “abortion is health care,” which was an issue hot for Republicans during this year’s election.

“This is an administration that has made a name for itself for advancing the policies of the most radical ideologues,” Perry said. “I mean, you have a man in a suit at HHS telling us what health care is. That’s the misleading nature of these kinds of representations.”

Colin Reed, a GOP strategist, added that the electoral success that Republicans saw last month was a sign that the American people are rejecting such arguments from Democrats.
“The Democratic Party has become a one-trick pony trying to talk to voters who are facing mainstream challenges,” he said. “Until Democrats start rallying voters where they are, they’re going to keep losing elections.”
