One of Biden’s first agendas in the White House is to codify Roe v Wade as federal law. To codify this ruling would make it part of federal code (law). He is doing this in case the Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade as unconstitutional, and they should!!! Depriving unborn babies of LIFE goes against everything the U.S. Constitution stands for!

White House Announces It Will Codify Federal Abortion Law

The White House announced Friday that the Biden Administration will codify Roe v. Wade, which would allow for legal abortions even in the event that the Supreme Court overturns the 1973 ruling.

The Biden Administration made the announcement in a press statement put out by the White House. “The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe,” reads the statement.

“In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack,” it continues. “We are deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to care—including reproductive health care—regardless of income, race, zip code, health insurance status, or immigration status.”

The Trump Administration over the last four years has enacted policies and laws that are pro-life. As part of his administration’s efforts, Trump called for defunding Planned Parenthood and late-term abortions. Trump also nominated three pro-life judges to the Supreme Court.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said women should have “the right to make their own health decisions.”

“This core tenet in the canon of women’s rights remains under attack, demanding our constant vigilance and resolve to preserve reproductive rights in America,” she wrote in a Twitter post Friday.

The House Majority Whip also voiced his support.

Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) wrote, “Today marks the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which gave women the right to control their own bodies. Women’s right to choose is under assault across this country. We must continue the fight to protect that fundamental right.”

Roe v. Wade was the 1973 Supreme Court 7-2 decision ruling that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. It struck down many U.S. federal and state abortion laws.

Which is what they should have done in the first place instead of the court being the legislative branch.
Because it's so much easier to change and modify and even cut off an existing law than a court ruling.

The court ruling makes a right instead of an ability or a permission. Meaning that states can't as easily limit how it's done or if done at all. But a law... whole nuther critter.

Nope, you’re wrong. Making abortion illegal according to federal law makes it harder for the States to make it illegal at the State level.

And then there's the moral side of this issue. Murdering babies is pure evil!

Oh yeah?
How so?
The Bill of Rights is one thing.
Federal wire fraud is another.

What does it mean to 'codify'? I've never heard that term before.

Is this all you have to say about Biden making sure that doctors can keep murdering babies???
Ultimately it's going to be a good thing...not in the short term but in the long term...very much so.

Because Laws can be changed, modified, and even restricted to the point of non-existent.
A civil right cannot be restricted or removed.

Now do you understand?

Do you understand that Roe v Wade will still stand even if it is codified? This horrible ruling should be overturned, not codified!

Edit: So...you're saying that Biden is doing a "good thing" by codifying Roe--that he wants to stop the murder of the unborn???

Here's a quote from the OP article:

Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said, “Today marks the grim 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since this ruling in 1973 over 62 million innocent lives have been lost due to abortion. Every single life matters including the unborn. We must protect the sanctity of life & prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortions.”

Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) echoed Paul’s criticism.

“Today is the tragic anniversary of Roe v. Wade,” Lesko wrote. “I am proud to be a pro-life woman in Congress and fight for the right to life for every unborn baby. Every life is a gift from God, and I will continue to defend the sanctity of life at every stage.”

@Pearl I love your avatar... A friend of mine sketched that exact picture... and gave it to me... it hangs on my wall... and is my favorite picture.
Hi Adoration, I love it too, it's lovely. It reminds of a feeling I once had of being cuddled by God.

As you can see from my avatar... I love sheep... I am one... a very weak one... and the thought of laying my head in the crook of his neck brings me much comfort.
