Biden urged voters to head to the polls in November to make their voices heard on abortion rights. He says despite the decision, it 'doesn't mean the fight's over.'
PUBLISHED 1:22 PM EDT Jun. 24, 2022President Joe Biden on Friday called the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error.”President Joe Biden on Friday called the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error”
He claimed there was a “broad national consensus” of Americans who support the right to abortion and said the Supreme Court ruling was the culmination of “a deliberate effort” by conservatives over decades to undo that right, noting that three of the five justices in Friday’s majority were nominated by the same president, Donald Trump. “This is a sad day for the country, in my view, but it doesn't mean the fight’s over,” the president said.
An abortion rights bill failed in the 50-50 Senate last month. Some Democrats are calling for the elimination of the 60-vote filibuster rule to advance legislation. He added that the ruling threatens other precedents established by the Supreme Court that hinged on the right-to-privacy argument, notingFriday the Supreme Court should reconsider a number of other key cases, including ones that granted rights for contraception and same-sex marriage.
