President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he was “not prepared” to leave women’s right to choose “to the whims of the public” in the wake of the unprecedented leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion allowing states to force women to carry pregnancies to term.
“One of the reasons why I voted against the number of the members in the court, they didn't choose to acknowledge that there's a Ninth Amendment, they didn’t choose to acknowledge there’s a right to privacy,” he said. “I mean, there's so many fundamental rights that are affected by that, and I'm not prepared to leave that to the whims of the public at the moment”.
