2023 State of the Union address: on Abortion


Delia Ramirez: Will fight tooth and nail for our reproductive freedoms

Republicans want to criminalize abortion. Voters stood up for our reproductive freedoms at the polls, and we will show America that we will fight tooth and nail to ensure that families can decide for ourselves if, when and how to grow--without Republican politicians deciding for us.

Joe Biden: If Congress passes a national abortion ban, I will veto it

Congress must restore the right the Supreme Court took away last year and codify Roe v. Wade to protect every woman's constitutional right to choose. The Vice President and I are doing everything we can to protect access to reproductive health care and safeguard patient privacy. But already, more than a dozen states are enforcing extreme abortion bans. Make no mistake; if Congress passes a national abortion ban, I will veto it.
