President Biden says a woman's right to choose is 'fundamental' following the release of a draft Supreme Court opinion that could strike down Roe v. Wade
President Joe Biden on Tuesday said a woman's right to have an abortion is"fundamental" in his first statement following a published draft of a Supreme Court opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade.
"I believe that a woman's right to choose is fundamental," Biden said in a statement."Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned."Politico on Monday published what it calls a draft of a majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that would strike down Roe v. Wade. The draft was circulated in early February, according to Politico.
CNN has not independently confirmed the document's authenticity. Politico says it has authenticated the draft. A Supreme Court spokesperson declined to comment to CNN.The Biden administration had urged the Supreme Court to uphold Roe v. Wade and to invalidate the Mississippi law that bars most abortions after 15 weeks. Biden has said he would seek to codify Roe v. Wade, and that his administration was"deeply committed" to protecting access to reproductive health care.
