Recently, the United States has been in an uproar over the issue of "abortion rights," and US President Biden has also been troubled by this matter. Because the United States is a country that considers itself to pursue "human rights," but depriving the "right to abortion" seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of American women.
In addition to "human rights", the United States is also a country that pursues "freedom of speech", but something that US President Biden has done seems to run counter to "freedom of speech". According to multiple U.S. media reports, Former senior spokesman for the U.S. Army and retired three-star lieutenant general Gary Walerski posted a tweet mocking first lady Jill Biden ’s support for “abortion rights.” , the U.S. Army suspended him from his position as "senior instructor" and investigated him. Subsequently, many Americans believed that Biden was behind Walersky's suspension, saying that it was Biden who "used power to suppress people" and "restricted freedom of speech."
Gary Waleski is 60 years old. From 2014 to 2017, he served as the commander of the 101st Air Assault Division of the US Army. From 2017 to 2020, he served as the commander of the First Corps of the U.S. Army. Walesky participated in the Gulf War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War, and was awarded the Silver Star Medal for military operations northeast of Baghdad, Iraq.
On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the decision of "Roe v. Wade", which means that the United States has transferred the right to abortion from the hands of American women to the hands of American local governments. Later, the First Lady of the United States tweeted, "For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make their own decisions about their bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us." Subsequently, Walesky tweeted Replying to the above statement of the First Lady of the United States, he wrote: "I'm glad to see you finally know what a woman is."
Currently, the word "female" and its definition have become extremely sensitive in the United States, triggering conservatives and the culture wars among Democrats. Many Americans have begun using terms including "pregnant," "menstruating," and even "person with uterus" instead of the word "female."
Although this tweet has now been deleted, this suspension is also very unusual. You must know that the US military has always avoided getting involved in domestic partisan political disputes. On June 1, 2020, during a protest against the killing of black man George Floyd on his knees by the US police, Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and four-star Army general , took the then president special Trump passes from the White House through Lafitte Square.
On June 11 of the same year, milli apologized, saying that his appearance was a "mistake". However, this direct intervention by the military may mean that the current United States has become a state of "separation of powers" due to the issue of "abortion rights", namely the Democratic Party, Republican , the military, and the Supreme Court.
In addition, after the Supreme Court abolished "freedom of abortion", large-scale protests broke out in the United States. For this reason, US President Biden signed an executive order to protect American women's access to abortion services and promised to protect the privacy of women seeking abortions. protection, and even proposed opening “mobile clinics” to protect state borders.
In his external statement, Biden used words such as "pure political power", "out of control", "careless", "not seeking truth from facts" and other words about the Supreme Court, and even described the Republican Party as an "extreme force". This heavy use of words was called by the American media as almost a declaration of war on the Supreme Court.
However, as a federal country, the US president's rights are also limited. Biden can neither force legislation through Congress nor revoke the Supreme Court ruling. It is worth noting that this is the middle of the U.S. midterm elections, and Biden’s Democratic Party’s election situation is also worrying. Therefore, Biden also stated in a foreign statement that the fastest way to restore abortion rights is for the American people to elect more members of Congress who support legislation to protect abortion rights in the November midterm elections.Although this is just a small matter, looking at it from another perspective, it can already show that American society is facing "division". If American politicians cannot prevent this "war of division", then it is not impossible that a "civil war" will break out again in the United States.
