The fight for abortion rights “isn’t over,” US President Joe Biden said Sunday, 50 years after a landmark Supreme Court ruling had guaranteed that right, before the court reversed itself in June.

WASHINGTON, United States –

“Instead, MAGA Republican officials” — supporters of former president Donald Trump, with his Make America Great Again slogan — “are waging a war on women’s right to make their own health care decisions.” Biden added: “I haven’t stopped fighting to protect women’s reproductive rights – and I never will.” His powers to affect abortion rights, however, are relatively limited, with the battle mostly going on now at the state level.

Since then, some 20 Republican-led US states have passed laws banning or severely restricting abortion rights. But with Republicans now in control of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Congress, such legislation has virtually no chance of succeeding.
