06/24/2022 Remarks by President Biden on the Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade
05/11/2022 Tweet - "Once again -- as fundamental rights are at risk at the Supreme Court -- Senate Republicans have blocked passage of the Women's Health Protection Act, a bill that affirmatively protects access to reproductive health care."
05/11/2022 Tweet - "As fundamental rights are at risk at the Supreme Court, Senate Republicans have blocked passage of the Women's Health Protection Act. They have chosen to stand in the way of Americans' rights to make the most personal decisions about their own bodies, families and lives."
05/03/2022 Tweet - "The draft opinion calls into question the fundamental right to privacy -- the right to make personal choices about marriage, whether to have children, and how to raise them. These are fundamental rights for Americans -- a critical part of who we are."
05/03/2022 Tweet - "If the Court overturns Roe, it will fall on our nation's elected officials at all levels of government to protect a woman's right to choose. And it will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November."
05/03/2022 Tweet - "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. We will be ready when any ruling is issued."

09/02/2021 Tweet - "The Supreme Court's overnight ruling is an unprecedented assault on constitutional rights and requires an immediate response. We will launch a whole-of-government effort to respond, looking at what steps we can take to ensure that Texans have access to safe and legal abortions."
09/02/2021 Tweet - "The Supreme Court's ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade. Complete strangers will now be empowered to inject themselves in the most private of health decisions. The law does not even allow exceptions in cases of rape or incest."
09/01/2021 Tweet - "Texas SB8 will impair women's access to health care and, outrageously, deputizes private citizens to sue those they believe helped another person get a banned abortion. It's a blatant violation of the right established under Roe V. Wade. We will protect and defend that right."
09/01/2021 Tweet - "Texas law SB8 will significantly impair people's access to the health care they need--particularly for communities of color and individuals with low incomes. We are deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade and will protect and defend that right."

10/05/2020 Tweet - "Roe v. Wade must remain the law of the land."
06/29/2020 Tweet - "Today's decision reaffirmed that states can't put in place laws that unduly burden a woman's right to make her own health care decisions--but the fight isn't over. As President, I'll codify Roe v. Wade and protect a woman's constitutional right to choose."

05/21/2019 Tweet - "States across the nation are passing extreme laws that violate a woman's constitutional right to choose. These bills are a blatant attempt to overturn Roe v Wade. It's wrong. It's pernicious. We must #StopTheBans and ensure this choice remains between a woman and her doctor."
