The Supreme Court formally rejected a request by Texas abortion providers to block the state's new law restricting the procedure while legal challenges continue.President Joe Biden says he is launching a"whole-of-government effort" in response to the Supreme Court allowing the nation's most restrictive abortion law to, directing his Gender Policy Council and the White House legal team to tap federal agencies to ensure women maintain their constitutional right to an abortion.
The Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote Wednesday night formally rejected a request by Texas abortion providers to block the state's severe new law restricting the procedure while legal challenges continue.
"This law is so extreme it does not even allow for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. And it not only empowers complete strangers to inject themselves into the most private of decisions made by a woman—it actually incentivizes them to do so with the prospect of $10,000 if they win their case," Biden's statement said.
"The Supreme Court's cowardly, dark-of-night decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on women's rights and health is staggering," she said in a statement."Upon our return, the House will bring up Congresswoman Judy Chu's Women's Health Protection Act to enshrine into law reproductive health care for all women across America."
"We need to restore balance to the court after Donald Trump and Senator Mitch McConnell blatantly stole the seats of Justice Scalise and Justice Ginsburg," Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said in a statement.Advocates are concerned in the meantime about other states implementing laws similar to the one in Texas.
Anabelle should go back in the box!
I'm not a fan of Jen's, but she is spot on!!!! Its our body, our choice. I do think Biden and Pelosi are hypocrites. They proclaim to be staunch Catholics. Abortion does go against Catholic beliefs.
Well ladies let's all gather a form a new religion...one that believes in abortion. We'll then see if the first amendment holds up.
You cut the condescending part of her answer. Again protecting these scumbags. She goes on to say the person asking the question has never been pregnant and can’t understand how making that choice would be difficult. Yet Biden can PressSec? AbortionBan ImpeachBidenHarrisNOW
I'm a glad to read that now the WhiteHouse understands that only women can have babies. Bravo.
Old men and women and religious people always talk the talk but never walk the walk Who is going to take care of a unwonted child the government the taxpayers so they all feel righteous I also wonder if they were forced to pay for that unwanted child what would they do and say.
And also because he’s not mandating that his religious beliefs should be the law of the land. BansOffOurBodies
Just like its their choice for vaccine?
Huh, not a birthing people's right all of a sudden. Isn't that odd?
Compared to the last 4 years great to see a professional Press Sec in action. As for the content George Carlin said it best ...
So men can’t get pregnant anymore? Why not? Did something happen? Should I stop saying “birthing people” and just say women again?
She's awful..but most sheep are.
PsakiBomb is 💯💯💯
Absolutely. The woman should decide if they want to carry out a pregnancy.

15 Actors Who Could Never Play a Good Villain
ABORTION no matter the circumstances is MURDER! I would like to thank GOV ABBOT for protecting the FREEDOM and LIBERTY for women in the state of TX.
The fetus is the womans body?
She should have asked the reporter how many abortions he paid for.
I told you that dont Be deceived by his church, he is a poltergeist!
Stupid questions 🤨
Joe shouldn’t call himself Catholic if he isn’t Catholic. End of story.
Mmmmmmm then why did the President, abandon children young girls and women in AFGANISTAN to the TALIBAN who gives no choice to women's right
Bloop! Men, will NEVER know!
Ask a real woman
I don't know.. I feel like if I don't let politicians make decisions for me then I'll never get to enjoy the freedoms of being an American. 🙄
BravoJuneau There is ALSO the separation of church and state but everyone seems to avoid even mentioning it!
Women need to be free to make their own choices - listen up countries who suppress women via application of archaic religious doctrine be it in the Middle East or in the USA where some states are making abortion illegal AbortionIsHealthcare WomensRights EqualityForAll
This means ppl r free 2 choose whether or not they get the vaccine, right? B/c the logic fits. Free 2 choose b/c it’s ur body. If we get the vaccine it’s b/c we r willing 2 take on the risk—if we don’t it’s b/c we r willing 2 take on that risk. So y so much pressure 2 get vaxed?
Then he’s not catholic… 😂
Sick. Lord have mercy on our souls and our land.
Yeah but when it comes to being forced to get a vaccine SHE doesn’t believe it’s your body! It’s the Government’s body?
Oh god... is that doocy again
Do you own your kidneys !
Unless it's a vaccine then she must do as a man says.
LetiziaPrivat 👏👏👏
PetraAu
I'm Catholic and if my now wife ever told she wasn't ready to have a baby and wanted an abortion I would support her 100% this is not a religious issues which is what Republicans are trying to impose on you. AbortionBan AmericanTaliban SB8 Texas TexasAbortionBan gop
So she agrees MEN CANNOT GET PREGNANT
I love her!!!
Oh but the vax is forced on me?
My body my choice too jen! Ps tell yr mom + dad
How about CHURCH and STATE?
PERSONAL BELIEFS VERSUS CONSTITUTION. BIDEN UNDERSTANDS THIS. WHY DONT YOU JOURNALISTS?
Who’s the nerd asking the question?
But her immune system is owned by the state?
(1) Her baby's body is not the mother's body. (2) It may be a difficult choice for a woman to make, but it is the wrong choice. (3) Please help women and their babies in need make life affirming choices for BOTH of them!!!
MrsDrLupo That smile is like a 'Oh man, im boutta shut this man up'
We need a monument to her. For all the future White House Press Secretaries to remember who did it best.
Just maybe our laws shouldn’t be based on the religion of the current people in political power. Maybe follow your religious convictions for you and allow religious freedom for women.
Psaki “My body my choice” Also Psaki “GET VACCINATED” Hypocrites!
☄️☄️☄️
She said what she SAID 👏🏼
At least the word “Catholic” is trending without the words “child sexual abuse” included.
A majority of Catholics practice birth control in many different ways, not just pulling out before... you know. The Pope declared birth control was okay for women.
A man should shut up in regards to this topic
wow! its almost like hes the president and not the pope! its almost like he signed up to represent the american people and not catholicism!
Scott Lee Peterson In 2004, was convicted of the first-degree murder of his pregnant wife, Laci and second-degree murder of their unborn son Conner. But it's ok to abort a baby, just because of a womans choice. Scott made a choice to stop two beating hearts. Thank you Texas.
PressSec my boyfriend and I aren’t that serious please call me
So why we wearing mask again?
I thought they were all 'birthing people.' Jen sounds like a bigot.
Vous n'avez pas besoin d'avoir une religion pour justifier un crime.
sistadbarnes Yeah, this is not the day, sir.
Nothing like a good PsakiBomb to brighten up your evening.
Meanwhile, the white house pushes under the rug... Afganistan USMC
All Christians cherry-pick the parts of the Bible they want to follow. The part where men have sex with multiple women is one of those parts. There are many others.
Maybe he has? You never know..
Slaaaaaaaaam
Help me out here... abortion has very little to do with her body and a lot more to do with the other human being growing inside her. I dont even know how 'my body, my choice' applies to abortion.
A true Catholic believes that the principles and laws God put in place supercede the rights of an individual.
Apparently MyBodyMyChoice doesn’t kick in when it comes to fighting Covid only when it comes to murdering babies huh?
President Biden: Her body, her choice Also President Biden: Your body, our choice to shame you for not getting vaccinated
That's trnasphobic, mysginostocphobic, lgbtqwertyuojpdn+ phobic...men and humanoids can get pregnant too
Since when are Catholics actually against abortion for non misogynistic reasons Am I the only one remembering that The Pope admitted that members of the catholic church have been raping nuns & forcing them to have abortions worldwide?
Then why do they keep holding him up as a “devout” Catholic. Catholic is a set of beliefs…not a club. Murdering defenseless unborn babies is wrong. If he supports abortion he’s not really Catholic.
So... Peter from Fox News has a dad?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A simpler answer is that his religious beliefs have nothing to do with another person’s body. The only religious beliefs a pregnant woman need consider when making her choice are her own.
There are exceptions to EVERYTHING. Case closed.
pressSec is one good role model for young girls.
This country is turning back the hands of time instead of moving forward with equality. 4 years of the pig set us back 40.
We literally have 'Separation of Church and State' IN THE CONSTITUTION Even if he was against it it would literally be unconstitutional for him to make that his base reason for supporting the banning of abortions
Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am. Psaki for the win.
Wrong it is not her body
Jeanne_Mann Delicious!!🤣🤣🤣
When a survey was taken of Catholic women that had gotten an abortion, it was no different than what the number was for the general population.
Let's push this further. Maybe it's NOT a difficult choice. But it's that woman's choice to make. Period.
Right. Because the Catholic Church cares so much about women. Give me a freaking break.
It's super contradicting. But Biden does good in his part to separate church from the state.
very pleased to see that Jen Psaki knows what a woman is and who just got screwed royally by SOTUS w/ this ruling. Biden called women 'people'. PEOPLE don't get PREGNANT. FEMALES DO. once again for those in the back: ONLY females get pregnant. this is a female ONLY issue.
These are the same people who wanted to keep the troops in Afghanistan for women’s rights now taking away women’s rights.
Yes! 🙏🏻
“It’s a woman’s choice” But damn it you better get the vaccine or you won’t have the right to work!
How about it say, shall not judge” it’s not anyone place to judge except god. So butt out and move on
She should apply that same logic to the vaccine. And yes I am a proponent of the vaccine but I don't feel people should be force to take it.
Good. I’m glad Psaki clapped back! There is separation of church and state. I’m catholic. Who am I to say what’s right for another woman.
He then believes what the Catholic Church condemns. It's like a Democrat supporting racism.
Abortion is murdering a defenseless being, I don't understand why with so many contraceptive methods those pro-abortion get pregnant? They should be sterilized. And Biden, he will be Catholic but Christian no, Christians do not approve of murder.
Hypocrisy
There is nothing in the bible about abortion. There is something that speaks about how if you murder a pregnant woman is should be a life for a life. Meaning that the life of the woman is more important than the fetus. Also life begins at the 1st breath. Not the 1st heart beat.
From professional to personal snap attack in 3, 2, 1.
She supports the right for a woman to make a choice. Not everyone is Catholic, so you can’t rule as if everyone believes the same thing.
I really think she is clever and very intelligent. She can handle so well those “smart” guys with their “trick” (they think) questions. Great woman!
Click here
Then WTF is he going to do about Texas?
My body too and I don’t want the vax
RuthSorbello And could it be because he is sworn to uphold the law being the head of the executive branch see I know this stuff cuz I paid attention
So wait now my body my choice is back in play ? 😂
Great response Jen. I’m not hearing the righteous Catholics suggesting men should keep their dicks in their pants.
and we agree with PressSec , thanks
She rocks!!
the 19th Amendment was a big mistake
What about the basic human right to not be murdered by being scrambled to death then sucked up with a vacuum?
She missed; she normally catches poorly predicated questions. Catholics (like everyone) think abortion is bad. He assumes only course is to criminalize abortion. If one wants to REDUCE abortion, then you'd consider more. What works best: education & high quality birth control.
Womans body? How bout when it comes to vaccines?
Why just a woman’s choice? Biden and your party have stated anyone one can be pregnant? Just “birthing people” Isn’t it a guy’s choice too? Wish you would make up your mind.
Maybe we should get to the “root cause” of abortions and pass laws to remediate the real problem?
Well said 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Just like it is our body and our choice on if we decide to take an injection or not.
