Sept. 1, 2021 Statement by President Joe Biden 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 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.

Oct. 6, 2021 Remarks by President Biden After Marine One Arrival Pres. Joe Biden

May 3, 2022 Statement by President Joe Biden Pres. Joe Biden

May 3, 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." Pres. Joe Biden
May 3, 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." Pres. Joe Biden
May 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.
