Biden vowed that he and Vice President Harris will fight for abortion rights.
President Joe Biden speaks at a"Reproductive Freedom Campaign Rally" at George Mason University, Jan. 23, 2024, in Manassas, Va., which preserved access to the medication nationwide -- instead reminding voters that the fight for women's reproductive freedom is not over.
The Supreme Court decision and Biden's comments come in an election year where abortion is a key issue for many voters. Both Biden and his opponent, former President Donald Trump, have worked to address abortion as they campaign. "Women are being turned away from emergency rooms, or forced to go to court to plead for care that their doctor recommended or to travel hundreds of miles for care," Biden said in the statement. "Doctors and nurses are being threatened with jail time, including life in prison, for providing the health care they have been trained to provide."
