Biden says Roe v. Wade under attack like 'never before'

President Biden and Vice President Harris released a statement Saturday commemorating the 49th anniversary of the landmark decision Roe v. Wade, which gave women the constitutional right to abortion.

The Biden-Harris administration said that the decision is under attack like "never before" amid several states' attempts to pass restrictions on the practice.

"The constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade nearly 50 years ago today is under assault as never before. It is a right we believe should be codified into law, and we pledge to defend it with every tool we possess," Biden and Harris said in a statement.

"All people deserve access to reproductive health care regardless of their gender, income, race, zip code, health insurance status, immigration status, disability, or sexual orientation. And the continued defense of this constitutional right is essential to our health, safety, and progress as a nation," they added.
