Joe Biden signs abortion order under left-wing pressure, rages at SCOTUS

President Biden blasted last month’s Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade as “an exercise in raw political power” and a “giant step backwards” Friday before signing an executive order meant to help women seeking the procedure — though it is unlikely to have much effect in practice.

“This was not a decision driven by the Constitution,” Biden said of the June 24 high court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which struck down the 49-year-old precedent set by Roe. “Let me say it again. This was not a decision driven by the Constitution. Despite what those justices in the majority said, this was not a decision driven by history.”

In response to criticism from liberals for not being more aggressive following the decision, the president reiterated that voters had to elect “two additional pro-choice senators and a pro-choice House” in this fall’s midterm elections in order for Congress to codifiy federal abortion rights.
