2:01Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden said the “horror” unleashed by the Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate the nationwide right to abortion was already being felt across the country in his sharpest attack yet on the two-week-old ruling.
Faced with growing demands from liberal Democrats that the White House take more robust action following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Biden said Friday that much of the country was experiencing “a giant step backwards” as he signed an executive order intended to preserve access to the procedure.
“This isn’t some imagined horror. It’s already happening,” he said at the White House, noting that bans have already taken effect in 13 states. He cited a report that a 10-year-old rape victim was forced to travel from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion. Bloomberg News hasn’t verified the report.
“Imagine being that little girl,” Biden said.
His executive order will codify efforts taken by health officials following the high court’s ruling intended to provide resources for women seeking abortions. But it won’t restore the availability of abortion in states that have largely outlawed the procedure in recent weeks, and the move is also unlikely to assuage progressives.
