Biden criticizes Supreme Court decision, calls on Congress to restore Roe

President Joe Biden on Friday harshly criticized the Supreme Court's decision upending abortion rights and called on Congress to enshrine access in federal law.

"It's a sad day for the court and the country," Biden said as he delivered remarks from the Cross Hall of the White House.

"Today the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized," he said. 'They didn't limit it, they simply took it away. That's never been done to a right so important to so many Americans but they did it."

The court's conservative majority voted Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade as it upheld a Mississippi law that bans nearly all abortions past 15 weeks of pregnancy.
