US President Joe Biden on Friday called for Congress to pass a federal law restoring abortion rights after the landmark Supreme Court ruling that overturned the nationwide right to the procedure.
“The fastest way to restore (the Roe v Wade ruling of 1973) is to pass a national law codifying Roe, which I will sign immediately,” said Biden, whose Democratic Party does not now have enough control over Congress to push such a bill through.
