United States President Joe Biden has vowed to fight against the “extreme and dangerous Republican agenda” one year after the Supreme Court reversed its decision on the right to abortion. On June 24, 2022, the high court, which had been significantly influenced by former President Donald Trump’s appointment of three conservative judges, overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that had guaranteed the right to abortion for American women since 1973.
Following the court’s decision, individual states regained the power to legislate on abortion, leading to approximately twenty states implementing bans or significant restrictions on access to abortion. In response, President Biden released a press statement on the anniversary of the court decision, stating that “state-level bans are just the beginning” and warning that Congressional Republicans aim to ban abortion nationwide.
President Biden reiterated his commitment to protecting women’s health and called on Congress to restore the constitutional right to abortion. However, given the divided nature of the two chambers between Democrats and Republicans, the chances of success for such legislation are slim.
The issue of abortion continues to deeply divide American society and is expected to play a central role in the upcoming US presidential election. Protests and events are planned across the country on Saturday, organized by both pro and anti-abortion groups.
In the federal capital, a large gathering of the evangelical and conservative movement “faith and freedom” is taking place, with former President Donald Trump scheduled to participate. The movement has made the ban on abortion one of its main causes.
The fight over abortion rights remains a contentious issue in the United States, with both sides of the debate mobilizing their supporters and politicians taking positions on the matter. The outcome of this ongoing battle will have significant implications for the future of women’s reproductive rights in the country.
How likely is it for Congress to pass legislation that restores the constitutional right to abortion, given the divided nature of the two chambers between Democrats and Republicans
One year after the Supreme Court reversed its landmark ruling on abortion rights, President Joe Biden is vowing to tackle what he calls the “extreme and dangerous Republican agenda.” The court, significantly influenced by the appointment of three conservative judges by former President Donald Trump, overturned the Roe v. Wade decision that had protected the right to abortion for American women since 1973.
This reversal gave individual states the power to pass their own abortion laws, leading to around twenty states implementing bans or restrictions on abortion access. In response, President Biden released a press statement on the anniversary of the court’s decision, warning that state-level bans are just the beginning and that Congressional Republicans aim to ban abortion nationwide.

I commend Joe Biden for his strong commitment to protecting and fighting for the reproductive rights of all individuals. It is crucial to have a leader who will stand against any extreme Republican agenda that threatens women’s access to safe and legal abortions. #ReproductiveRightsMatter
“Joe Biden’s unwavering commitment to defend and protect abortion rights against an extreme Republican agenda is a stride in the right direction for women’s reproductive healthcare. It is vital to ensure that women maintain autonomy over their bodies and have access to safe, legal abortion services. This pledge gives hope to millions of women who deserve the right to make their own healthcare decisions.”
