Abortion rights activists were unhappy with the president’s comments, as millions of people are being denied access to abortion care in nearly half the country.
The Roe ruling was garbage and deserved to be overturned. As another poster mentioned, basing it on the right to privacy was a mistake.
And people seem to forget that the question is not whether you support abortion or not. That’s irrelevant. The question was always whether there was a Constitutional right to abortion.
I mean, no one ever is “big” on abortion. It’s a traumatic procedure done for many reasons, personal or medical. Don’t want one, don’t get one. I hate it that it’s still somewhat controversial, even where I live, when the laws were passed almost 50 years ago.
I’m very much in favor of safe effective medical procedures of all sorts. Acting as if abortion is something bad that must be tolerated is not helpful.
In my opinion, It is crucial for a leader to uphold a clear differentiation between their distinguished responsibilities and personal convictions.
I too like this response. It shows that he keeps his personal beliefs as his own view and understands that governing has little to do with belief and everything to do with providing the people what they need most.

Then stop voting for Republicans, it’s THAT simple.
I didn’t.
Didn’t help.
