Biden: Dobbs Ruling "A Tragic Reversal"

[Webster]

(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

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Saving lives is now tragic🙄

It is...

How, by returning the issue back to the states where it should've been pre-Roe?

I’m all for returning it to the states. Hell the only things government should be doing is protecting our borders and making sure the states follow the constitution. That’s it! Nothing else.

*dusts off thread* Looking back, Dobbs was the right decision but Thomas' concurrence still scares the hell out of me.

I don't know if there's already a topic about it, but this has certainly been eye opening to a lot of people: https://www.npr.org/2025/05/20/nx-s...-kept-on-life-support-raising-legal-questions

Though I am pro-choice, I can understand the general concept of leavings things up to the state and taking power away from the federal government, but I think there should be a minimum standard on basic human rights. I guess one could argue all day long about these fetuses also being entitled to those same basic human rights, and I guess that’s where the pro-choice and pro-life reach an impasse. This is one of those issues that will never be resolved. Dobbs was overturned a couple years ago, but a liberal majority Supreme Court will flip that back the first chance they get. Maybe that’s 25 years from now, maybe 50. Who knows? It’ll happen though.
