President Joe Biden read the teleprompter word for word while delivering remarks, literally.
While delivering a speech on actions the administration is taking to protect abortion access, Biden read directions from the teleprompter.
āIt is noteworthy that the percentage of women who have registered to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do so. End of quote. Repeat the line,ā Biden said.
He continued, āWomen are not without electoral and or political⦠not and or, or political power.ā
Biden explained women can ādetermine the outcome of this issue.ā

This did not appear to be the only error Biden made while delivering his remarks.
āWhen tens of millions of womens vote this year, they wonāt be alone,ā Biden said.
Additionally, the president suggested a woman crossed state lines to āterminate the presidencyā instead of pregnancy.
On Friday, Biden signed an executive order with the intention of protecting access to abortion nationwide.
āIām asking the Justice Department that, much like they did in the Civil Rights era, to do everything in their power to protect these women seeking to invoke their rights,ā Biden said.
NPR noted the executive order āpledges to ensure the safety of abortion patients and providers, including setting up mobile clinics near the borders of states restricting abortion access.ā
It also āseeks to convene private, pro bono lawyers to offer supportto people crossing state lines to get an abortion.ā
The order directs the secretary of Health and Human Services to release a report in the next 30 days listing more actions to āprotect medication abortion, expand access on emergency contraception and IUDs,ā and emphasize public education surrounding reproductive rights, as NPR reported.
