Facing pressure from his party to act more aggressively on abortion, Biden announced steps his administration is taking last week, which include making legal representation available to women who choose to go out of state for the procedure and protecting access to medication.

  1. “I do not view abortion as a choice or a right, I think it is always a tragedy. I think it should be rare and safe. And I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions, and there ought to be a common ground and concensus as to do that.” – Joe Biden in 2006

    1. @Kathryn McMorrow ..A stillbirth is the death or loss of a baby before or during delivery. Both miscarriage and stillbirth describe pregnancy loss, but they differ according to when the loss occurs. It is hard for me to take you seriously when you clearly do not have an understanding of what you are talking about.

    2. @Guadalupe Blakey you mean trump ?? Isn’t he the one that said I’m the law abiding? Try to enforce the police on people? Let alone divided Americans?

  2. 4.6 thousand views and 146 likes😂. Everyone knows this guy runs a nation about as well as he rides a bike.

  3. Attempting to intimidate and terrorize judges is actually a federal CRIME (Fed statute 18 U.S. Code 1507)

    _”Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.”_

    1. @Ricardo Aguilar Nope. Only one person died. She was shot by capitol police. I’m here all day if you need me lil buddy. 👍

    2. @S Albro I said legal protest that’s about intimidation and terrorizing. If a Supreme Court Justice is intimidated or terrorized by a 70-year-old woman standing outside with a sign he shouldn’t be on the Supreme Court. It is not intimidation and terrorizing it is a legal form of protest. If you can protest outside the White House, you can protest outside of a justices house. And you absolutely have no right to comment on this issue unless you have a uterus. If you don’t, we’re done.

  4. It’s all pretty simple and can be addressed “democratically “ If the electorate in prohibitive states are unhappy they can vote for state leadership that that they like. It seems that most of the protesting is happening in states with some of the most unrestricted abortion laws in the world.

    1. @one sojourner apology accepted but not required. C’mon man, it’s the internet! 😂😂

    2. @Anna Jordan The minority in one state is not the minority in all the others, just as it is for majorities.

    3. @Sonic 7 I don’t believe so because Roe depended on the 14th…and the court was solving for a determined outcome.

    4. @Lane Funai Next time you go into grocer and order a thanksgiving Turkey and pay for it by the pound….are you going to be upset when they hand you a fertilized Turkey egg, call it “potential turkey” and claim it has the same value as that you ordered?

  5. Someone shold tell him it’s become pointless for him to even show his face to the public. He should just go sit down and cash his kickback checks.

  6. So if they want a law then they should be protesting the people in congress who kept promising they would pass such a law but never did and not SCOTUS.

    1. @Alpha Nerd 1st amendment…also, where in the document does it say “the right of the people to have abortions shall not be infringed”? Ill wait…

    2. @Scott William or stop playing the blame game and worry about improving your own situation and those around you. Pointing fingers is unfathomably unproductive

  7. “Keep Protesting”… Is that a dog whistle? Even Trump never said anything like that. Trump said go home in peace, not Keep Protesting!

  8. If they let this man walk alone they don’t let him leave without a helmet 💀

    “End of quote. Repeat line”

    1. @HM3 Drake Trump/Biden is a genius mastermind and is to be blamed for everything.
      Biden/trump is not a mindless character that plays on group identities for geopolitical manipulation.
      We’re all working together in this unprecedented event dangerous to our democracy.
      We’re all working together in this unprecedented event dangerous to our democracy.
      We’re all working together in this unprecedented event dangerous to our democracy.
      We’re all working together in this unprecedented event dangerous to our democracy.

    2. @HM3 Drake two questions: where did you state that in this comment section

      And who side are you on right now? You’re very confusing

  9. He’s encouraging people to protest (respect the court’s decision) and the media doesn’t seems to have a problem with that but if that would have been President Trump 💪🇺🇸👍 it would have been all over the news trying to get him impeach

    1. Why would they waste their time protesting outside the residence of someone who agrees with them?

      Best to focus your attention to those who do not.

  10. I wonder if he is encouraging a peaceful protest similar to those that took place in 2020. “Peaceful”

  11. Just wondering if there will be a Congressional committee investigating threats on Supreme Court justices?

  12. “Keep on rioting and make sure you cause as much chaos as you can” – President Magoo and all the Democrats.
    Don’t forget the “Summer of Love 2020” So peaceful

  13. I’m surprised his handlers let him on a bike again, let alone speak to the press without a q card in his hand or taped to his helmet.
