State of the Union: Interview With U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra
|
Xavier Becerra
|
| Oct. 5, 2022
|
Tweet - "The decision overturning Roe v. Wade was never going to stop with a woman's right to choose. It extends to the right to privacy itself. And like clockwork, we're already seeing the criminalization of doctors and threats to block access to contraception."
|
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. It's a blatant violation of the right established under Roe V. Wade. We will protect and defend that right."

Executive Order on Securing Access to Reproductive and Other Healthcare Services
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 4, 2022
|
Tweet - "A national ban on abortion means that even if you live in a state where extremist Republican officials aren't running the show, your right to choose is still at risk. They want the right to choose for every woman -- in every state in this country -- gone."

Remarks by President Biden on the Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 6, 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."

Remarks by President Biden on Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care Services
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 2, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 3, 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."
|
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. 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 2, 2022
|
Tweet - "My dad used to say, "Joey, don't compare me to the Almighty. Compare me to the alternative." And here's the deal: Democrats want to codify Roe. Republicans want a national ban on abortion. The choice is clear."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "While today's Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade puts at risk the health and lives of women across America, most states in this country still recognize a woman's right to choose. Here's what you should know."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 28, 2021
|
Tweet - "Today, I issued a Presidential Memorandum to protect and expand access to reproductive health care. I am fully committed to protecting women's health here at home and around the world."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 2, 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."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 3, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 3, 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."

Statement by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on the 49th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 22, 2022
|
Tweet - "The constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade 49 years ago today is under assault as never before. We must recommit to strengthening access to reproductive care, defending the right established by Roe, and protecting the freedom of all people to build their own future."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 4, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 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."

| Sept. 23, 2022

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 7, 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 3, 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."
|
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
|
| July 1, 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."
|
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. They have chosen to stand in the way of Americans' rights to make the most personal decisions about their own bodies, families and lives."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 22, 2021
|
Tweet - "As we mark the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, now is the time to rededicate ourselves to the work ahead. From codifying Roe to eliminating maternal and infant health disparities, our Administration is committed to ensuring everyone has access to the health care they need."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 7, 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."
|
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
|
| July 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."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 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?"
|
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."
