Biden rips Texas abortion law as 'extreme,' violation of Roe v. Wade
Fox News
President Biden criticized a new Texas law that prohibits abortion except for during the very beginning of pregnancy or in cases of medical emergencies, stating that it goes against established Supreme Court precedent.
"This extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade and upheld as precedent for nearly half a century," Biden said in a statement Wednesday. The Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision said that states could not ban abortions before a fetus is viable (capable of life outside the womb), a stage typically understood to be reached at approximately 24 weeks.More Related News
