President Joe Biden recently expressed his concerns regarding the issue of abortion being left to state discretion, calling it a 'terrible thing.' His comments came in response to former President Donald Trump's defense of overturning the landmark case of Roe v. Wade.
President Biden highlighted that the majority of constitutional scholars supported the Roe v. Wade decision when it was made. He dismissed the notion that all scholars were against it, labeling such claims as 'ridiculous.'
The debate over abortion rights has long been a contentious issue in the United States, with differing opinions on the legality and morality of the practice. Roe v. Wade, a Supreme Court decision from 1973, established a woman's legal right to abortion under the constitutional right to privacy.
President Biden's remarks underscore the ongoing battle over reproductive rights and the role of the government in regulating such matters. The issue of abortion continues to be a divisive topic, with advocates on both sides passionately defending their positions.
As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how the current administration will address the issue of abortion and whether any legislative changes will be proposed to safeguard women's reproductive rights.
