President Biden on Tuesday will announce that the first bill he would send to Congress if Democrats retain their majorities would be one to codify the Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion rights.
Biden is set to make the remarks at an event in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Democratic National Committee.
It illustrates how Democrats and Biden want to put the emphasis on abortion rights ahead of the midterms as new polls suggest the party is losing momentum in its effort to retain the Senate and House.
Biden’s announcement has caveats. Sending the bill is dependent on Democrats retaining the House, which has always looked like an uphill climb, and increasing their Senate majority, which could allow Democrats to change the rules surrounding the filibuster. Increasing the number of Democratic senators is possible in this year’s midterms, though Democrats have increasing worries about losing the chamber entirely given tight races around the country.

Did he ever attend a first year social studies class?
I hope the SC goes to war with him on this.
It’s a shame he wasn’t aborted.
Uh... they couldn’t pass an “abortion rights” bill WITH majorities in Congress NOW.
Will they make it “friendlier” this time?
What ‘new Democratic Congress’?
Why do they want to kill babies?
The Supreme Court has already ruled that abortion laws are the purvey of the individual states. That is the law. Biden can codify all he wants, and the Supreme Court will toss it out.
I believe to codify they need 60 votes. They barely have 50. It’s just theater.
I bet they will send this though the lame duck regardless of the mid terms.
The Left’s love of abortion is pathological.
Appealing to all his stupid voters
Presidents don’t write bills.
Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shummer, Soros, Bill Gates, Fauci, Joe Scarborough, Director Wrey of the FBI, Hillary, Facebook, Twitter, etc. make me inclined to make exceptions to my pro life beliefs. Kamala is the exception. She has value. It is to remind us not to elect idiots again.
Apparently the switchover of Planned Parenthhood to gender mutilation from abortion isn’t as financially viable as the Democrats thought....
Why wait? Do it now so the Supreme Court can shoot it down.
Obviously, Zhio’s striking a knowingly meaningless pose to ameliorate his negatives for all D politicians onto whom he implicitly reflects while their drones mail in box-stuffing ballots.
In light of SCOTUS recent ruling, one would have to consider this a possible impeachable offense, flying in the teeth of what has just been ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS.
Brain freeze, to many large ice cream cones.
It doesn’t matter how many votes they have. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue. So it will take either a constitutional amendment or a new Supreme Court ruling for Biden to get what he wants.
Biden’s play here is probably just theater.
Speak in the language that people understand! The Democrats want to codify the ability to take the life of full term babies - NO EXCEPTIONS! Don’t ever let them get away without them owning their position. They are the party of the extremist positions. Let them own it and defend it.
And it would eventually be ruled unconstitutional, period. The question of abortion as a federal purview (versus STATES) has already been decided by the USSC in overturning Roe v Wade.
