Biden: SCOTUS Decision ‘Unprecedented Assault on a Woman’s Constitutional Rights Under Roe v. Wade’

President Joe Biden is blasting the ⚖️Supreme Court’s decision not to block Texas’ restrictive 🏥Abortion law, and vowing to examine what steps the federal government can take to “ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions.”

In a statement on Thursday, Biden said, “The ⚖️Supreme Court’s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost fifty years.”

“By allowing a law to go into effect that empowers private citizens in Texas to sue health care providers, family members supporting a woman exercising her right to choose after six weeks, or even a friend who drives her to a hospital or clinic, it unleashes unconstitutional chaos and empowers self-anointed enforcers to have devastating impacts,” he continued.

He went on to highlight a provision of the law that he says empowers “complete strangers” to “inject themselves in the most private and personal health decisions faced by women.”

Additionally, he labeled the law “extreme” for not allowing for an exception in cases of rape or incest.

“For the majority to do this without a hearing, without the benefit of an opinion from a court below, and without due consideration of the issues, insults the rule of law and the rights of all Americans to seek redress from our courts,” Biden continued. “Rather than use its supreme authority to ensure justice could be fairly sought, the highest Court of our land will allow millions of women in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities.”
