Several hours after the U.S. Supreme Court officially released its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson to overturn Roe v. Wade, President Joe Biden took to the podium to make official remarks, as noted by Rebecca Downs:
“”Today, is, uh, it’s not hyperbole to suggest a very somber moment,” Biden began, as he claimed that “today the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized.” He continued to double down on his disappointment, calling it “a sad day for the Court and for the country.” …
As he discussed Roe further, Biden misled on its scope, despite being someone who claims to be so well-versed in it. He claimed, “Roe was a decision on a complex matter, through a careful balance between a woman’s right to choose earlier in her pregnancy and a state’s ability to regulate later in her pregnancy.”
The president failed to mention that thanks to Roe’s companion case of Doe v. Bolton, abortion was legalized throughout all nine months of pregnancy. This was due to what the Court acknowledged as broadly-defined “health” exceptions, including the “well-being” of the mother, which could be whatever she and her doctor decided it was…
While at the annual National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) convention on Friday, Townhall spoke to Karen Cross, the organization’s political director, about the president’s remarks, which she pointed out were “so loaded.”
She emphasized the danger of the WHPA and how unpopular its provisions are, as well as how “so out of the mainstream” the Democratic Party’s support for abortion throughout all nine months without legal limit and with taxpayer funds is.
Cross also believes this will not be a winning issue for Democrats come November, especially since it’s a distraction from Biden’s failures. “I almost feel like what he’s doing is trying to point the other direction and say, ‘Don’t mind all the failures I’ve had in the first two years I’ve been here,'” emphasizing Biden has been “a complete failure at everything.””
