Biden Slams Texas Heartbeat Bill as 'Outrageous' & 'Unconstitutional'

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Biden released a statement Wednesday condemning the new heartbeat bill that bans abortion in Texas after the first six weeks of conception. 

The following is a statement issued by the White House from President Joe Biden:

"Today, Texas law SB-8 went into effect. This extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade and upheld as precedent for nearly half a century.

"The Texas law will significantly impair women’s access to the health care they need, particularly for communities of color and individuals with low incomes. And, outrageously, it deputizes private citizens to bring lawsuits against anyone who they believe has helped another person get an abortion, which might even include family members, health care workers, front desk staff at a health care clinic, or strangers with no connection to the individual.

"My administration is deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade nearly five decades ago and will protect and defend that right."

Some Texans agreed with his stance:

Others including Texas politicians and even former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence felt the opposite and commanded Texas for passing the bill.

It seems to me that a condom or a pill would be a hell of a lot cheaper than an abortion and what the hell does the color of somebody's skin have to do with anything???

How typical of the democrats when they don't have a good argument, PLAY THE RACE CARD!!!

Cant force a 12 year old to wear a mask, apparently that's unconstitutional. Instead, let's force them to have a baby.
