Statement by President Joe Biden on Supreme Court Ruling on Texas Law SB8
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 2, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 2, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 1, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 1, 2021
|
Tweet - "Texas law SB8 blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade nearly five decades ago. It will disproportionately affect communities of color and individuals with low incomes from getting access to the health care they need. We must protect that right."
