He said that his administration is “deeply committed” to protecting the constitutional right established under Roe v. Wade. He did not specify, however, how his administration plans to do that, especially for women living in Texas. Democratic members of Congress expressed outrage at the Supreme Court for not taking action, with a number of them reviving the argument that the number of justices should be expanded to offset the three conservatives who were added by then-President Donald Trump. Biden signed an executive order this year establishing a commission to study potential changes to the court.
"By its inaction, the Supreme Court ended abortion access in TX last night. Roe v. Wade was effectively overruled, not with a bang, but with a whimper, through the shadow docket. This is why we need to urgently pass the Women’s Health Protection Act — it can’t wait any longer," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., the measure's lead sponsor in the Senate, tweeted Wednesday.
