It looked to be pretty uncomfortable there in the front row occupied by members of the U.S. Supreme Court during President Biden’s State of the Union address. In front of America and the world, Biden chastised the court for overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark case in American jurisprudence that for years stood as the standard for female reproductive rights and sovereignty of their own bodies.
Biden reminded the court that women are an electoral and political force. And with Roe v. Wade as a backdrop to congressional and senate elections in both 2022 and 2023, the Democrats surprised many with their robust success against Republican candidates saddled with the burden of defending the Republican-dominated Supreme Court’s decision.
“In its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court majority wrote “Women are not without electoral or political power.” No kidding. Clearly those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women in America. But they found out when reproductive freedom was on the ballot and won in 2022, 2023, and they will find out again in 2024. If Americans send me a Congress that supports the right to choose I promise you: I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again.”
Biden took it right to the black robes on national television and they had to sit there and squirm under the bright lights, basically telling them that the historic mistake they had made with Roe v. Wade will be fixed by the women of America.
Way to go, Joe.
