‘A tragic error’ — JoeBiden speaks on US supreme court abortion ruling | TheCable
Roe v. Wade, the historic 1973 ruling that affirmed the constitutional right to abortion in the US, onCourtesy of the reversal of the law, US states will now be allowed to determine their own abortion laws as they deem fit.Speaking after the reversal, Biden described the ruling as a “tragic error”, adding that it had expressly taken away a constitutional right from the American people.
“It didn’t limit it, it simply took it away as never been done to rights so important to so many Americans. It’s a sad day for the court and for the country,” he said. “Fifty years ago, Roe v Wade was decided and has been the law of the land since then. This landmark case protected women’s right to choose; a right to make intensely personal decisions with their doctor, free from the interference of politics. It reaffirmed basic principles of equality, that women have the power to control their own destiny and it reinforced the fundamental right of privacy; the right for each of us to live how to choose our lives.
“Make no mistake, this decision is a combination of a deliberate effort over decades to upset the balance of our law.
