Candice Norwood Breaking News Reporter Published President Joe Biden told the nation Friday that it is up to Congress to restore federal abortion protections. His remarks followed the Supreme Court's 6-3 opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 decision, upending abortion rights by leaving them to the states to decide. Biden's statement came after weeks of pressure from activists and Democratic lawmakers who called on the president to use the weight of his executive authority to help people, particularly those from vulnerable communities, secure abortion options.
