This was expected and I anticipate he will pack the courts.  There will be nothing that the GOP can do; outnumbered and out maneuvered.  Joe is such a good Catholic in wanting to ensure abortion is accessible!

Biden to support ending filibuster to protect abortion access

President Biden said that he supports Congress ending the filibuster to pass legislation protecting a national right to abortion on Thursday.

Biden made the announcement during a press conference at a NATO summit in Spain. Biden originally supported keeping the Senate filibuster when he entered office.

Reporters pressed Biden on what executive action he may take to secure abortion access nationally following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last week. Biden responded that the only solution is to codify Roe in Congress.

"The foremost thing we should do is make it clear how outrageous this decision was," Biden said. "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."...............

If the Dems have cojones, they will eliminate the Filibuster, stack the Supreme Court, impose term limits for Justices, and intiate Impeachment proceedings against those Justices who lied about upholding the precedent of Roe vs. Wade during their Senate confirmation hearings.

The Christian Conservative dog has caught the car.  Now it's time for the Dem Liberal counter response.  Are the establishment Dems as cowardly as establishment Repubs?

Hopefully in some way this will eventually backfire on Joe and the DEMS.

Here is a better solution. Why not just let States leave the union. Enough is enough, we don't want to live with one another. I would prefer to live in a State that does not allow, or severely restricts, abortion. Leftists want to live where babies can be killed even after they are born. Lets go our separate ways.
