Shortly after the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision Friday, President Biden asked Congress to “restore its protections” since there was “no executive action” that he can do to achieve that.
“Elect more state leaders to protect this right at the local level,” he said. “We need to restore the protections of
Roe as law of the land. We need to elect officials who will do that. Roe is on the ballot.”
The President urged Americans “everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests peaceful, peaceful, peaceful, peaceful.”
“No intimidation. Violence is never acceptable. Threats and intimidation are not speech. We must stand against violence in any form regardless of your rationale.”
