  • Biden has been criticised by Progressive Democrats for failing to use executive powers to push through abortion protection.
  • In response, Biden has said: “Ultimately, Congress is going to have to act to codify Roe into federal law."
  • White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre: “President Biden has made clear that the only way to secure a woman’s right to choose is for Congress to restore the protections of Roe as federal law."
  • The Supreme Court decision to roll back the right to an abortion is one of the few current political issues which Democrats believe can boost support for frontline Democrats in November's midterms therefore Biden's response in the next few months will be critical for Democrats.
