"Today is a sad day for the Supreme Court and the country ."
Joe Biden said this when commenting on the decision by which the US Supreme Court canceled the historic ruling “Roe v. Wade ”on abortion . "He took away a constitutional right", he said, speaking of "a tragic mistake", the result of an "extreme ideology" dominant in the US Supreme Court: now "the health and lives of women in the country are at risk".
He then appealed to Capitol Hill to restore it. "Now the ball goes to Congress," he added, promising that his administration will remain vigilant.
The right to abortion and personal freedoms are at stake "on the ballot" in the upcoming Midterm elections, she stressed, calling on voters to mobilize in the November vote to elect representatives who can defend the right to terminate pregnancy and other individual freedoms.
Finally, he urged activists in favor of the right of abortion to "keep all protests peaceful". With the abortion of the historic ruling on the right of abortion by the Supreme Court, the US becomes "an exception in the world".
