Last month’s debate between current President Joe Biden and and former President Donald Trump promised to make abortion a key issue, but many people were left disappointed by how little focus was given to reproductive rights. The two speakers spent little time on the issue while Trump even gave voters misinformation about late-term abortions. Nonetheless, Biden once again concluded his remarks that if reelected, he would continue to work to restore federal abortion rights.
It’s not the first time Biden has said he would “restore” Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to abortion. It was overturned in June 2022 and ever since has been a common claim on the campaign trail to fix it, one that Biden also touted during the 2024 State of the Union address and more recently released a campaign ad that targets Trump on abortion.
