Title: Joe Biden Vows to Fight Against “Extreme and Dangerous Republicans” on Anniversary of Supreme Court Abortion Reversal
Date: June 24, 2023
Washington (AFP) – On the one-year anniversary of the historic reversal of the Supreme Court on the right to abortion, President Joe Biden has promised to combat the “extreme and dangerous Republicans.” The decision, which was cursed or celebrated by Americans across the country, has sparked a heated debate on the future of reproductive rights in the United States.
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court, significantly reshaped by former President Donald Trump’s appointment of three conservative judges, overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. This decision, in place since 1973, had guaranteed the right to abortion for American women nationwide.
Following the reversal, individual states regained the power to legislate on abortion, leading to approximately twenty states implementing bans or significant restrictions on access to abortion. Conversely, some states have adopted new safeguards to protect reproductive rights.
In a statement released on the anniversary of the decision, President Joe Biden expressed concern over the state-level bans and warned that Congressional Republicans aim to ban abortion nationwide. Biden’s administration has pledged to protect women’s health and called on Congress to restore the constitutional right to abortion. However, the divided nature of the two chambers, with Democrats and Republicans, makes the success of such a restoration unlikely.
The subject of abortion continues to divide American society and is expected to play a central role in the upcoming US presidential election. According to a recent CBS/YouGov poll, 63% of Americans oppose a nationwide abortion ban, highlighting the significance of the issue for voters.
To mark the anniversary, several demonstrations and events were organized across the United States by both pro and anti-abortion protesters. Notably, the evangelical and conservative movement “Faith and Freedom” held a large rally in Washington, which was attended by former President Donald Trump. The movement has made the ban on abortion one of its main causes.
As the debate on abortion rights intensifies, President Joe Biden remains committed to protecting women’s health and defending reproductive rights against what he perceives as extreme and dangerous Republican efforts to restrict access to abortion.
