Biden Advocates for Abortion Expansion During State of the Union Address

In President Biden's State of the Union Address on March 1, Biden reiterated his support for expanding abortion in the United States.

While Biden advocated for abortion, just a day after the Women's Health Protection Act failed to pass a cloture vote in the US Senate, he did not say the word abortion or acknowledge the millions of American lives that have been ended by abortion since the Roe v. Wade decision.

“Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women. The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before,” Biden said.

“If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.”

While Biden chose to avoid using the word "abortion," it is clear that Biden is advocating for the advancement of abortion rather than actual maternal health care.

In the time since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, it is estimated that over 63 million children have been killed through abortion. This is not health care. Mothers deserve support, including health care, but their children also deserve protection under the law.
