Psaki Refuses to Explicitly Say if Biden Would View SCOTUS Overturning Roe v. Wade As ‘Legitimate’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave a head-scratching answer when she was asked if President Joe Biden would view a decision by the ⚖️Supreme Court as “legitimate” if it overturned Roe v. Wade.

During a press briefing on Wednesday, Psaki was asked, “If the court does move to strike down Roe, should Americans be prepared to accept that decision as legitimate? And would President Biden accept that as legitimate?”

The answer seems like it should be a straightforward “yes,” even if it is just a hypothetical question.

However, that is not how Psaki responded.

Instead, she said, “I can’t speak for what actions could be possible on the legal front. I would point you to the Department of Justice on that.”

“What I can tell you will happen is, and this is what we are preparing for the possibility of, that if Roe were to fall, 🏥Abortion would probably be illegal in about half of the country,” she continued.

Psaki went on to note that several states have “trigger laws” that would implement bans on 🏥Abortion if Roe was overturned.
