Biden urges women to keep protesting abortion ruling
11.07.2022 11:30
President Biden on Sunday encouraged women to keep protesting the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade — and said he was mulling declaring a public health emergency to free up federal resources for abortion access, reported from New York Post.
"Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important,” Biden, who was on a bike ride near his family’s Delaware beach house, told those who have been demonstrating against the June 24 ruling.
Biden, 79, also said that he asked his staff "whether I have the authority” to announce the health emergency and what the impact would be, according to White House press pool accounts.
Protests against the justices who voted to overturn the 1973 landmark case have continued since the ruling, and in some cases has prompted criticism of the tactics used to make their views heard.
Last week, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, had to escape Morton’s The Steakhouse in Washington, DC after protesters showed up outside the restaurant.
