President Joe Biden’s campaign promised to make abortion policy a key campaign issue leading up to November, but recently he has angered his progressive base by appearing to focus only on more moderate cases.
Biden has repeatedly called for Congress to restore Roe v. Wade after it was struckdown by the Supreme Court in 2022, but Americans are deeply split on the issue and recently the president has appeared to tone down his position to appeal to moderates on the issue, according to Politico. During his State of the Union address, Biden failed to mention the word abortion entirely, opting for terms like” reproductive freedom” and the “right to choose,” riling his base of supporters.
