The president of USA and candidate for re-election, Joe Bidenaccused this Monday his rival, the former Republican president donald trump (2017-2021), of endangering the health of millions of women in the country by defending that each state decide on the legality of abortion.
The Democratic leader thus responded to Trump, who issued a video message in which he ruled out promoting a national abortion ban if he wins the elections and defended that each of the country’s 50 states should decide its own legislation.
In a statement, Biden recalled that Trump is the greatest “responsible” that the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority and with three judges appointed by the Republican himself, would overturn in 2022 the federal right to abortion, which had been in force since 1973, after which several states controlled by Republicans began to prohibit this practice.
The president blamed his predecessor for “the cruelty and chaos that has engulfed the United States” since then.
“Because of Donald Trump, one in three women in the United States already lives under radical and dangerous bans that put their lives at risk and threaten doctors with prosecution for doing their job. And that’s only going to get worse“, he claimed.
Biden denounced that women who want to terminate their pregnancies are being rejected by clinics and are forced to go to court to request care or travel to other states where abortion is legal.
He added that in states like Florida abortion will soon be illegal after six weeks of gestation, “before many women even know they are pregnant.”
The president reiterated that he is determined to “restore federal protection” to abortion if he achieves his re-election and a Democratic majority in Congress after the elections next November.
