Biden denounces 'Republican extremists' as he signs executive order on abortion access
WASHINGTON — Vowing to continue the fight against last month’s Supreme Court overruling of the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade that made abortion legal nationwide, President Biden signed an executive order on Friday that would push back against Republican efforts to limit reproductive choice.
He also denounced who he described as ‘Republican extremists’ who want not only to restrict abortion in individual states but enact a nationwide abortion ban. “This is not some imagined horror, it’s already happening,” Biden said from the White House.
He was flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, both of whom have, like him, condemned last month’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which returned the power to regulate abortion entirely to states.
“This was not a decision driven by the constitution," an impassioned Biden said, depicting the conservative majority’s decision in Dobbs as “an exercise of raw political power."
