The White House announced Friday that the Biden administration will push for the codification of Roe v. Wade, which would allow for legal abortions even in the event that the Supreme Court overturns the 1973 ruling.
The Biden administration made the announcement in a press statement released by the White House. “The Biden-Harris administration is committed to codifying Roe v. Wade and appointing judges that respect foundational precedents like Roe,” reads the statement.
