President Joe Biden marked the 49th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling establishing abortion rights in the United States by again urging that those rights be enshrined in federal law.

WASHINGTON, United States —

“It is a right we believe should be codified into law, and we pledge to defend it with every tool we possess.” The constitutional right laid out in the 1973 high court ruling has come under steady attack as laws in a number of Republican-led states have made it increasingly difficult for women to obtain abortions.

Abortion rights advocates fear that the current Supreme Court, including three conservative justices named by former president Donald Trump, will excoriate — or eliminate — that right. “In the coming months we anticipate a monumental decision from the Supreme Court,” said Julia Letlow, a Republican congresswoman from Louisiana.

I am a Roman Catholic and I am in favor of an Abortion Law with safeguards against discriminatory abortions. The physical well-being of its citizens is a duty of government. But nothing and nobody should prevent believers NOT to have abortions.
