As Trump writhes over the abortion issue, President Joe Biden has a clear message for America while defining the former president.
Biden said in a statement released by his presidential campaign.
Donald Trump made it clear again today that he, more than anyone else in America, is the person responsible for ending Roe v. Wade. He is more responsible than anyone else in America for creating the cruelty and chaos that has engulfed our country since the Dobbs decision.
Trump has previously said women should be punished for seeking reproductive health care, and his wishes have been granted. Women are discharged from emergency rooms, have to go to court to get the care they need, and have to travel hundreds of miles for health care. In states like Florida, abortion will likely soon become illegal before many women even know they are pregnant. Because of Donald Trump, one in three American women is already living under an extreme and dangerous ban that puts their lives at risk and threatens to prosecute doctors for doing their jobs. And the situation will only get worse. Despite his empty rhetoric about infertility treatment, Trump has made it clear that the MAGA Republicans he controls in Congress have introduced legislation that could ban infertility treatment, and that the Speaker of the House he empowers is the nation's strongest supporter of abortion rights. It doesn't say that you are one of the people. Banned nationwide. Let there be no illusions. If Donald Trump is elected and MAGA Republicans in Congress submit a national abortion ban bill to the Resolution Desk, Trump will sign it into law.

Here's what Donald Trump doesn't understand: He said Roe v. When he tore up the Wade decision, he took away a fundamental right from American women that the U.S. Supreme Court had affirmed and reaffirmed for 50 years. As a basic right, it didn't matter where you lived. It is granted to you as a U.S. citizen and not as a resident of any state. Generations of women have come to rely on that right. Now we are in a unique position today where women have fewer rights than their mothers or grandmothers. Nothing like that has ever happened before in America. And it cannot be allowed to stand. I think Roe v. I am determined to restore federal protection in Wade's case. So it doesn't matter where you live in the US. A woman's default right to choose will once again become the law of this country. If you give me and Vice President Harris a Democratic Congress, that's what we'll do.
Trump is simply lying. There has been no surge of support in the United States for overturning Roe. In fact, today in America, support for Roe is higher than ever. The real truth is that Trump made a political deal in 2016. He promised to appoint a court that would eliminate Roe. And he had to pay that debt. So he did that. It was never about public policy or what is right or what Trump believes. It was always about politics.
Trump acknowledged as much in his statement today. Having created the chaos that turns Law over, he tries to say, 'Oh, never mind.' Please don't punish me for that. “I just want to win.”
Trump is busy. He's worried that voters will hold him accountable in 2024 because he was the one responsible for overturning Roe. Well, I have some news for Donald. they will America was founded on individual liberty and freedom. So there is nothing more un-American than taking away personal freedom. And that's exactly what Donald Trump did.
As I've said many times since the Dobbs decision, Donald Trump and everyone responsible for overturning Roe have no clue about the power of American women. But they will soon find out.
Biden knows that the issue of reproductive freedom is a top issue and will be on the minds of millions of voters when they vote in the fall. America cannot afford to have a presidential candidate who lacks the courage to do what the majority of the country wants. An overwhelming majority of Americans want the government to stop dictating what types of health care women can receive.
Trump is embracing extreme right-wing positions on abortion while trying to run away from them. Biden was ready to accept Trump's abortion plan and let a convicted fraudster defraud the majority of the population of their rights.
