JUST IN: President Joe Biden has responded to a Politico report suggesting the U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The president noted that it's unclear whether the draft reflects the court's final decision. Opinions can change during the drafting process.
"I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental, Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned," Biden stated. Biden said his administration created a Gender Policy Council and will be ready with options when a ruling is issued."It will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November," Biden said."At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice Senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, which I will work to pass and sign into law.
