Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) signaled Thursday that Republicans will not support President Joe Biden’s advocating for abolishing the filibuster to pass a bill to codify Roe v. Wade.

“The foremost thing we should do is make it clear how outrageous this decision was,” Biden said during remarks in Spain on Thursday. “I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way to do that is to make sure that Congress votes to do that.”
