Joe Biden will sign legislation protecting access to abortion care into law if Democrats win control of Congress in midterm elections this fall.
In remarks to a Democratic National Committee event on 18 October, the President announced plans to sign a bill to codify Roe v. Wade protections on the 50th anniversary of the US Supreme Court decision – what he intends to be his first act of 2023.
In June, the nation’s high court struck down precedents established by Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey that affirmed the constitutional right to abortion care.
Following the latest ruling, more than a dozen states have outlawed most abortions or severely restricted access to care, leading to the closures of dozens of clinics. Patients and providers across the US have warned of devastating consequences to losing access to legal abortion, while Democratic officials have made abortion rights central to their midterm campaigns as Republicans mull national abortion restrictions.
“If Republicans get their way with a national ban, it won’t matter where you live in America,” Mr. Biden said on Tuesday. “The only sure way to stop these extremist laws that have put in jeopardy women’s health and rights is for Congress to pass a law.”
Democrats would need to pick up several seats in the currently evenly split US Senate for abortion protections to prevail.
Mr. Biden also said he will veto any anti-abortion legislation passed by a Republican-controlled Congress.
The Democratic-led House of Representatives passed the Women’s Health Protection Act earlier this year, though Senate Republicans have repeatedly obstructed its introduction in that chamber. That bill would codify the right to abortion care as affirmed by Roe v. Wade.
House Democrats were only joined by three Republicans to pass the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act, which would protect the right of abortion patients who live in states that have outlawed or severely restricted care to travel to other states without risking prosecution or legal action in their home states.
The bill also would protect providers and others who help patients travelling out of state for their care.
Legislation would also shield interstate shipments of US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs used for medication abortion, the most common form of abortion care, accounting for more than half of all abortions in the US.
In a briefing with reporters on Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Republican-led abortion restrictions “disturbing” and “very dangerous.”
“It’s backwards, again, it’s dangerous and it’s severe, in stark contrast to the President and the commitment that he has to leave these decisions between a woman and her doctor,” she said.
This fall, voters in several states will determine whether their state constitutions include explicit protections for abortion care, while elections for control of state legislatures, governors’ offices and secretaries of state will also determine the fates of abortion access across the US.
In his remarks on Tuesday, President Biden pointed to Kansas voters shooting down a recent anti-abortion ballot measure in that state, signalling the electoral consequences of the Supreme Court’s decision in midterm elections.
“One of the most extraordinary parts of [the Dobbs decision] was when the majority wrote, ‘women are not without electoral or political power.’ Let me tell you something – the Court and extreme Republicans who have spent decades trying to overturn Roe are about to find out,” he said.

access to contraception and right to a safe abortion only happened in my mother's lifetime. legality of homosexual sex and other types of consensual sex acts often listed under the label of "sodomy" and marriage equality only happened in my life time. and it will probably all be gone before my niece hits double digits (she's six in september). I'm not even 30.

One of the best parodies of the Marvel Civil War had Tony try to get Emma and the X men to join the “sign up for the government” side of the thing and Emma’s all “hey right quick where were you guys whenever the mutant community had a threat? Also when’s the last time getting mutants to sign up for any list didn’t get their asses killed”
Also the power behind “we will let you two destroy each other and clean up who is left” just the best.
Anyway that’s my feeling whenever I get Democrat fundraiser emails…

Hope people who think putting the picture of a baby next to the idea of an 18 week heartbeat (of something with less mass and barely more structure than a bean. Less structure than a worm) imediately start having recurring nightmares full of screaming
GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME GET IT OUT OF ME
until safe and accessible abortion is available within their range of influence.
Not sorry.

There’s a certain grace surrounding my grandmother’s house that’s hard to define. Never once has it known a stranger, down there on its quaint, country road. The dogwoods and beech trees create an inviting canopy of shade where all are welcome, all are invited to stay for dinner, all are gifted great company, a good story or two, and a piece of pie for the journey home. It backs up to the horse runs, and every morning without fail, four curious ponies come begging for apple cores and peppermints. Though the inside may be dated by today’s standards, it’s halls ring with laughter, the air fresh with the smell of summer.
Growing up, I dreamed of owning that house one day. Sure, it may not be close to any big cities or be in a town anyone could consider a tourist destination, but I didn’t care. Preserving that house after my grandparents left this earth was worth it. But as I got older and began to find myself—coming out as queer in the process—that dream became more and more unobtainable. Because that house, the place of my childhood summers, is in a state where gay marriage was not legalized until Obergefell v. Hodges back in 2015.
Due to the recent bout of conservative judicial restraint by the Supreme Court, cases allowing same-sex marriage, interracial marriage, and consensual sodomy are in danger. Decades-long precedents are being overturned and because so many of the aforementioned rights have not been codified into federal law, millions of Americans—especially in the South—are in danger of losing their rights, myself included.
If Obergefell is overturned, my grandmother’s house would stay empty. I would not be able to share a place so full of peace and light with a partner of the same sex. It wouldn’t matter if we wanted to give back to the community, it wouldn’t matter if we wanted to live a slow and quiet life, it wouldn’t matter if we were in love. We would be criminals, illegal, seen as less than when just a few years prior, what was in our pants didn’t void a loving relationship. As much as I’ve dreamed of making my home in that house, I couldn’t put a partner of mine through that.
So here I sit in my grandmother’s backyard, typing this out in the shade of those beeches and dogwoods, watching my favorite palomino horse graze lazily in the golden, evening light. I would be lying if I said my heart wasn’t breaking a little. Of course, the South is where I was born, where I was raised, and I’m not letting go without a fierce fight. But until our right to love as human beings is codified and protected, my hope to one day own my grandmother’s house will remain just that, a dream in the back of my mind.

A woman in Wisconsin was left to bleed for more than 10 days after suffering an incomplete miscarriage as doctors in the state struggle to navigate abortion laws in a post-Roe America.
Carley Zeal, an OB/GYN in southern Wisconsin and fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, told The Washington Post that the unidentified woman was going through a miscarriage and needed to have the fetal tissue removed from her uterus.
However because of Wisconsin’s outright ban on abortion, the woman was turned away by emergency room staff at a hospital in the state.
Dr. Zeal said that she saw the woman more than 10 days later when she was still bleeding severely and at serious risk of infection.
She treated the patient with medication to expel the fetal tissue from her uterus – the same medication used in many abortions.
“It really delayed her care,” Dr. Zeal said. “I saw her a week and a half later with an ongoing miscarriage and bleeding, increasing the risk of severe bleeding as well as infections.”
The US Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on 24 June, ending 50 years of federal abortion protection and sending power over access back to individual states.
In Wisconsin, almost all abortions were immediately banned because of an outdated law from 1849 which criminalises abortion care, making it punishable by up to six years in prison.
The only exception to the state’s abortion ban is when there is risk to the mother’s life.
Wisconsin’s Democratic Governor Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul have challenged the 1849 law arguing that its age means it should be unenforceable and that 1980s statutes supersede the ban.
However, in the meantime, abortion providers have been forced to stop providing care and doctors are clamouring to understand how to treat patients, including women suffering miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and other complications.
Dr. Zeal told The Washington Post that another physician had reached out to her for a second opinion on a patient who was suffering from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
“She knew exactly what she had to do because [the patient] was bleeding and was clearly going to die if nothing was done,” said Dr. Zeal. “But she wasn’t sure what she needed to document to be sure she wouldn’t be charged with a felony.”
Confusion around whether doctors can treat patients without facing criminal prosecution has become a growing issue in several states.
Several reports have detailed delays in patient care as physicians have been forced to consult other doctors and lawyers for approval.
With abortion access fractured across the US, Democrats are trying to introduce sweeping federal protections.
On Friday, the US House of Representatives passed two bills: the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act.
The Women’s Health Protection Act would codify the right to abortion care across America.
But, while the bill has passed the House, it is unlikely to clear the Senate with its 50-50 split of Republicans and Democrats.

This has the same effect as if Congress did it.
The Supreme Court overturns laws.
Even if those laws are "codified."
It's basic civics, people.
