Biden slams Supreme Court Texas abortion ruling as 'unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights’
Fox News
President Biden on Thursday slammed the Supreme Court’s overnight ruling on Texas' abortion law as an “unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights.”
The law, signed by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May, prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, usually around six weeks and before many women know they’re pregnant. "The Supreme Court’s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost 50 years," Biden said in a statement Thursday. "By allowing a law to go into effect that empowers private citizens in Texas to sue health care providers, family members supporting a woman exercising her right to choose after six weeks, or even a friend who drives her to a hospital or clinic, it unleashes unconstitutional chaos and empowers self-anointed enforcers to have devastating impacts."More Related News
