President Joe Biden on Friday called on Americans to “march forward with purpose” as Democrats continue efforts to restore American women’s right not to be forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term against their will, in a presidential proclamation marking a half-century since the Supreme Court issued the landmark Roe v Wade ruling which, until last June, allowed women to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy under most circumstances.
Mr Biden noted that this Sunday’s anniversary date will be the first in half a century without the constitutional right to abortion care affirmed by the landmark US Supreme Court case.
