(The Guardian) Biden calls Roe ruling a 'tragic reversal'
Opening the meeting with Democratic governors, Biden called the court’s ruling on abortion a “tragic reversal”.
“I share the public outrage of this extremist court that is committed to moving America backwards,” Biden said. He vowed to fight to protect women’s rights: “This is not over.”
He pointed to two steps the administration has taken to increase the availability of medication abortion and protect women who travel out-of-state for an abortion.
Per the White House, the Democratic governors participating in Friday’s meeting are:
--Ned Lamont, Governor of Connecticut
--Kathy Hochul, Governor of New York
--Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of New Mexico
--JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois
--Jay Inslee, Governor of Washington
--Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon
--Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina
--Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado
--Dan McKee, Governor of Rhode Island
