President Biden suggested on Thursday that \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d embrace an \u201cextreme ideology\u201d that includes opposition to abortion.\u00a0<\/span>His comments came<\/a> during what has been described as a dark speech<\/a> at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. In it, he took aim at attempts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results but also called out several other traditionally conservative positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards \u2014 backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s comments reflected a history of contradictory stances on abortion and other issues. A little more than a decade ago, Biden supported the Hyde Amendment and said life begins at conception \u2014\u00a0a position he <\/span>apparently reversed<\/span><\/a> in recent years. In May, the president notably acknowledged that abortion kills a \u201cchild\u201d but has pushed for Congress to codify Roe v. Wade<\/em>‘s provisions into federal law. As previously reported by Live Action News, a “right to privacy<\/a>” has never allowed for homicide against an innocent party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically, polling has shown that Americans favor restrictions on abortion. According to <\/span>Gallup<\/span><\/a>, most tend to support limiting abortion to the first trimester (with 55% opposing second trimester abortions and 71% opposing third trimester abortions).<\/span><\/p>\n

A series of states has begun putting more protections<\/a> for preborn human beings in place since the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em> reversed Roe v. Wade<\/em>. <\/span>A majority of the court, in a 6-3 decision, supported Roe’s reversal with a variety of opinions from the justices. In his concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas argued that the ruling should prompt a reconsideration of substantive due process more generally \u2013 including, for example, the decisions in Obergefell v. Hodges<\/em> and Griswold v. Connecticut<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

While that opinion has raised concerns about the stability of decades-old, highly controversial jurisprudence from the Court, Justice Samuel Alito specifically stated<\/a> on page 66 of the Dobbs<\/em> decision, \u201cAs even the Casey plurality recognized, \u2018[a]bortion is a unique act because it terminates \u2018life or potential life.\u2019 505 U. S., at 852; see also Roe<\/em>, 410 U. S., at 159 (abortion is \u2018inherently different from marital intimacy,\u2019 \u2018marriage,\u2019 or \u2018procreation\u2019). And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
