Date Title
09/23/2022 Tweet - "If you give me two more Democratic senators, and Democrats keep the House, I promise you we will codify Roe v. Wade. We will once again make Roe the law of the land. We will once again protect a woman's right to choose."
09/16/2022 Tweet - "Roe v. Wade reaffirmed the basic principle of equality -- the right of each of us to choose how to live our lives. A nationwide abortion ban is dangerous. Not just for choice, but for the personal autonomy of every American."
08/15/2022 Tweet - "I believe Roe got it right. I commit to the American people that I'll continue doing everything in my power to safeguard access to health care, including the right to choose. Go to http://reproductiverights.gov to learn more."
08/04/2022 Tweet - "Voters in Kansas rejected extreme efforts to amend the state constitution to take away a woman's right to choose. This vote makes clear what we know: The majority of Americans agree that women should have access to abortion and the right to make their own health care decisions."
08/03/2022 Remarks by President Biden and Vice President Harris at the First Meeting of the Interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access
08/03/2022 Tweet - "I created the Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access to ensure the government acts during this moment. As medical care is denied to women. As pharmacies are unsure whether they can fill prescriptions. As rape survivors, including a 10-year-old, have to travel for care."
08/03/2022 Tweet - "I don't think the Supreme Court or for that matter Congressional Republicans -- who for decades have pushed their extremist agenda -- have a clue about the power of American women. Last night in Kansas they found out."
08/03/2022 Tweet - "Today I'll sign a second Executive Order to address the reproductive health care crisis since Roe was overturned. It will support women traveling for abortion care, ensure providers comply with the law when women require medical care, and advance maternal health research."
08/03/2022 Remarks by President Biden and Vice President Harris at the First Meeting of the Interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access
08/03/2022 Executive Order on Securing Access to Reproductive and Other Healthcare Services
08/02/2022 Tweet - "Tonight, Kansans used their voices to protect women's right to choose and access reproductive health care. It's an important victory for Kansas, but also for every American who believes that women should be able to make their own health decisions without government interference."
08/02/2022 Statement by President Joe Biden on Defeat of Kansas Ballot Measure Threatening Women's Right to Abortion
07/21/2022 Tweet - "Today the House voted on a bill to protect access to contraception. Almost entirely thanks to Democrats, it passed. 194 House Republicans opposed it. It's 2022. How are they opposed to access to birth control?"
07/14/2022 Tweet - "Immediately after Roe was reversed, I laid out how our Administration would use executive action to protect a woman's right to travel across state borders to get the care she needs. Today, Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would make that right a law."
07/08/2022 Remarks by President Biden on Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care Services
07/08/2022 Executive Order on Protecting Access to Reproductive Healthcare Services
07/08/2022 Protecting Access to Reproductive Healthcare Services
07/07/2022 Tweet - "If states try to block a woman from getting medication the FDA has already approved and that has been available for more than twenty years, we will act to protect that woman's right to that medication."
07/07/2022 Tweet - "If extremist governors try to block a woman from traveling from a state that prohibits her from seeking the medical help she needs to a state that provides that care, we will act to protect her bedrock rights."
07/06/2022 Tweet - "Congress must act to codify Roe and the filibuster should not stand in the way. But right now, we don't have the votes to change the filibuster. That means we need to elect more Democratic senators and reelect our House majority in November to get this bill to my desk."
07/02/2022 Remarks by President Biden During a Virtual Meeting with Governors on Reproductive Rights
07/02/2022 Tweet - "We will protect a woman's access to medications approved by the FDA, like contraception, which is essential for preventative health care, and have taken steps to ensure that these critical medications are available to the fullest extent possible."
07/01/2022 Tweet - "Today, I was joined by a group of Governors who share my outrage at the Supreme Court's extreme decision on Roe v. Wade. They understand what's at stake, and they're doing everything in their power to protect the women they serve."
06/30/2022 Tweet - "We have to codify Roe v. Wade into law. And as I said this morning: If the filibuster gets in the way, then we need to make an exception to get it done."
06/28/2022 Tweet - "My Administration will do everything in its lawful power to fight back against the devastating decision overturning Roe v. Wade and to protect the fundamental rights of women. Now, Congress must take action."
