2024 State of the Union address: on Abortion


Joe Biden: Congress should codify Roe v. Wade and I'll sign it

Like most Americans, I believe Roe v. Wade got it right. My predecessor came to office determined to see Roe v. Wade overturned. He's the reason it was overturned and he brags about it. Look at the chaos that has resulted.

There are state laws banning the freedom to choose. Criminalizing doctors, forcing survivors of rape and incest to leave their states to get the treatment they need. Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom. My god, what freedoms would you take away? Look, in its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court majority wrote the following, and with all due respect, justices, "Women are not without electoral or political power." You're about to realize just how much you can brag about that.

History is watching another assault on freedom [about] the miracle of IVF To my friends across the aisle, don't keep this waiting any longer. Guarantee the right to IVF. Guarantee it nationwide.

Katie Britt: Support nationwide access to in vitro fertilization

We want to give you and your children the opportunities to thrive--and we want families to grow. It's why we strongly support continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization. We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into this world. Wesley and I believe there is no greater blessing in life than our children.
