President Biden said Tuesday he doesnโt want a conservative Supreme Court majority to result in personal freedoms being decided by โthe whims of the publicโ in local communities.
He was talking about the potential Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. After the draft opinion of an upcoming Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked, a reporter asked if there should be changes in the high court.
Biden told reporters that if the opinion is finalized in its draft form, it would be a โradicalโ change.
โThey refuse to acknowledge thereโs a right to privacy,โ Mr. Biden said of conservative justices. โThere are so many fundamental rights that are affected by that, and Iโm not prepared to leave that to the whims of the public at the moment in local areas.โ
Biden told reporters that if the opinion is finalized in its draft form, it would be a โradicalโ change.
โIt basically says all the decisions relating to your private life, who you marry, whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether or not you can have an abortion, a range of other decisions,โ the president said. โItโs a fundamental shift in American jurisprudence. And the idea weโre letting the states make those decisions โฆ would be a fundamental shift in what weโve done.โ
If Roe is overturned, instead of the federal government exacting a one-size-fits-all mandate, the people would vote on abortion and any potential restrictions in each state. Biden doesn’t believe the people have the ability or the right to vote on it. It can’t be left to their whims.

Few things are more evil than invoking religion to defend your support of killing unborn babies. https://t.co/VzBfiXBR3Z

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, just screamed at us:
