Biden says court leading nation down 'extreme' path
President Biden on Friday accused the Supreme Court of taking an extremist path with its decision overturning the Roe v. Wade decision on abortion rights, arguing the court made a “tragic error.”
“This is an extreme and dangerous path the court is now taking us on,” Biden said of the court’s 6-3 decision, which effectively wipes out what had been seen as a constitutional right for more than a half a century.
“It’s a sad day for the court and for the country,” Biden said in remarks from Cross Hall at the White House. “The health and life of women in this nation is now at risk.”
Biden specifically called out the court for completely overturning Roe v. Wade and leaving the decision on abortion rights entirely to the states.
He said this would mean a woman who was the victim of rape and incest would not longer be able to get an abortion — unless a state law provides such an exception.
