Biden vows to restore abortion rights

As Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., sat before him wearing a MAGA hat — shouting out her point-by-point grievances — and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., sat behind him, President Joe Biden sang the praises of Roe v. Wade during his State of the Union address, promising to turn back time for the second time and correct the damage done to people's right to abortion at the hands of the GOP.

"History is watching another assault on freedom," Biden said, starting on the topic of IVF and how it should be maintained as a service that's legally and easily obtained. From there, he went into his remarks on abortion as being another freedom that should be kept as such, saying, "I believe Roe v. Wade got it right," turning behind him to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being "an incredible leader in defending reproductive freedom."
