Biden calls for election wake-up call on abortion rights — but new upheavals are fast approaching
Advocates are concerned that despite Biden’s strong words on reproductive health on Thursday, there is not a clear plan for the potential fallout from looming Supreme Court decisions.
WASHINGTON — President Biden started his sprawling national address Thursday night with a warning to Republicans: Women have rebuked attempted abortion limits in past elections, and they will do it again.
Yet the November elections are months after the Supreme Court is expected to decide two pivotal cases in abortion rights. The two conservative justices who have most publicly questioned federal abortion protections and access to the abortion pill mifepristone, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, did not attend the State of the Union, as they rarely do. Conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett also did not make an appearance.
