Perhaps this will spur him into action.
He did say he would sign an executive order...

I don't know about that. Liberals have sucked on just about every issue for the past 40 years on keeping focus on what the GOP has, filling judge seats and districting. Our politicians for far too long have compromised in the false hope that Republicans were honest players, and we increasingly cant afford to keep swallowing that garbage.
That is not only nonsensical and wrong, it has nothing to do with what I said.
Republicans made a wedge issue out of abortion. Now that Roe is officially over and done with, the wedge no longer exists. The ‘left’ in the US is absolutely seething over this decision. Look for an historically high turnout of pro-choice voters in November and for significant numbers of anti-woman office holders to be voted out.

In the long run It is useless to mobilize unless what is mobilized is whipped into an orderly and disciplined troop able to follow long term strategies and within that context execute complex, purposed and organized maneuvers under central tactical direction.
Individual uncoordinated and undisciplined fervor of even a large majority is no match for well organized disciplined troop. Even if the mobilized masses is able to achieve some success those successes will soon be fretted away if the masses remains unorganized.
So the left had better figure out quickly how to organize itself into an army rather remain fraction riven mob that has just a few interests in common and not one of those is generally considered more important than each fraction’s pet interest du jour.

Well, he did say he will do all in his power to protect women who need an abortion in the states where it is illegal, so I assume that if they get charged with having an abortion in another state that Biden will issue a blanket pardon for anyone convicted of getting or facilitating abortion.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

A United States President can only pardon federal offenses, not state ones, which is what Trump is dealing with right now.
