Senators Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Pete Buttigieg and Cory Booker have also confirmed their attendance, along with former Vice President Joe Biden, who recently voiced controversial support for the Hyde Amendment, a law which prevents federal funds from being used to provide abortion procedures through Medicaid.

Organisers of the forum have explained that each candidate will have 15 minutes to answer questions about their records and current positions on all issues relating to women’s healthcare, including abortion, healthcare access, and contraception, which will undoubtedly see Biden questioned on his outdated stance, as well as his sexist behaviour that has marked his campaign trail.

As Warren pointed out in a recent interview on MSNBC, the Hyde Amendment stands in direct opposition to those working for intersectional reproductive justice, especially as Medicaid provides healthcare for poor and disabled women on public health insurance.

“Under the Hyde amendment, under every one of these efforts to try to chip away or push back or get rid of Roe v Wade, understand this, women of means will still have access to abortions,” she began.

“Who won’t will be poor women, working women, will be women who can’t afford to take off three days from work, will be very young women, will be women who’ve been raped, will be women who’ve been molested by someone in their own family,” she said.

“We do not pass laws that take away that freedom from the women who are most vulnerable.”
