As a result of the Supreme Court's decision that there is no constitutional right to abortion in the US, according to US President Joe Biden, women in the nation are now in danger.
In a 6-3 decision, the court on Friday reversed Roe v. Wade, the famous 1973 case that upheld the constitutional right to abortion in the US.
Due to the law's change, US states will now be able to set their own abortion regulations as they see suitable.
Following the verdict, it is anticipated that more than 20 states will ban or restrict abortion.
Speaking after the reversal, Biden described the ruling as a “tragic
error”, adding that it had expressly taken away a constitutional right
from the American people.
“It didn’t limit it, it simply took it away as never been done to
rights so important to so many Americans. It’s a sad day for the court
and for the country,” he said.
“Fifty years ago, Roe v Wade was decided and has been the law of the
land since then. This landmark case protected women’s right to choose; a
right to make intensely personal decisions with their doctor, free from
the interference of politics.
It reaffirmed basic principles of equality, that women have the power
to control their own destiny and it reinforced the fundamental right of
privacy; the right for each of us to live how to choose our lives.
“Now, with Roe gone, let’s be very clear, the health and life of women in this nation are now at risk.
“Make no mistake, this decision is a combination of a deliberate
effort over decades to upset the balance of our law. It’s a realisation
of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the supreme court in my
view.”
