What is President Biden talking about when he speaks of codifying Roe v. Wade? Biden has used the expression many times and conspicuously repeated it two days after the Inauguration in a joint statement with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Roe v. Wade is of course the Supreme Court decision in which the court struck down all state laws against abortion and legalized the practice nationwide. In a notably nasty touch, the Biden-Harris statement was released on the 48th anniversary of that infamous ruling.
As for codifying Roe, Biden almost certainly means pushing Congress to enact a sweeping pro-abortion bill called the Women s Health Protection Act. The legislation, which has been kicking around in Congress for years, has little do with protecting women s health and everything to do with making America the world s pacesetter in permissive abortion.
