The news of the Supreme Court possibly preparing to overturn the landmark reproductive rights case comes at a challenging time for Biden politically. While unemployment is low, concerns over inflation persists as prices on household goods continue to increase, the impacts of the pandemic drag on, and Biden is working to manage the complex global response to Russia’s invasion in Ukraine.
Since becoming President, Biden hasn’t spent a lot of time talking about defending reproductive rights, an important issue to his base. Biden—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before,” Biden told the joint session of Congress on March 1. “If we want to go forward, not backward, we must protect access to health care.

If the Supreme Court’s final ruling reflects what is in the draft, it will be a “radical decision,” Biden told reporters as he traveled to Troy, Alabama to see a factory making anti-tank weapons being shipped to the Ukraine military. If the Supreme Court decision becomes the law of the land, Biden said, “it goes far beyond the concern of whether or not there is the right to choose, it goes to other basic rights, right to marry, right to determine a whole range of things.
The possibility that the Supreme Court may reverse itself on abortion rights follows a period of advances on abortion restrictions byin state legislatures, making the issue an even more prominent part of campaign talking points for candidates from both parties. Polling showed an increase in voter attention to the issue after Texas implemented its restrictive law on abortions in the fall.
