Biden Expects 'Mini Revolution' With Many Politicians Voted Out If SCOTUS Overturns Roe

President Joe Biden predicted Wednesday that there will be a “mini revolution” with several politicians voted out of office if the Supreme Court overturns abortion rights.

“There’s a whole range of things that are at stake here when we talk about eliminating Roe v. Wade,” Biden explained on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” referring to the landmark 1973 ruling. “It’s just ridiculous in my view.”

Biden said he expects the country will react if the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is consistent with a leaked draft majority opinion. That draft, published by Politico, would overturn both Roe and a later abortion case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey ― paving the way for states to severely restrict or outright ban the procedure.

“I don’t think the country will stand for it,” Biden told host Jimmy Kimmel during the interview, which was his first in-studio late night appearance as president.

Roe v Wade is too important to too many suburban women who are fence sitters and non voters who have not been paying attention to politics.
