The US Supreme Court's ruling last year to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision passed the regulation of abortion back to individual states.
A YEAR AFTER the US Supreme Court scrapped the constitutional right to abortion in the United States, President Joe Biden today vowed to fight against the “extreme and dangerous” effort by Republicans to curb access to the procedure nationwide.
Pro- and anti-abortion groups were holding rival events in the American capital on Saturday, and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about the health care “crisis” regarding reproductive rights in a speech in the southern state of North Carolina. At one small rally in Washington, protesters carried signs and T-shirts bearing phrases like “I am the post-Roe generation,” and “Unborn Lives Matter,” urging national-level restrictions on abortion.Steve Karlen, an anti-abortion campaigner, and his wife, Laura, traveled to the capital from the Midwestern state of Wisconsin to “celebrate” Roe’s reversal, which also fell on their wedding anniversary.
“My Administration will continue to protect access to reproductive health care and call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law once and for all,” he said.
