If Democrats retain control of the House and Senate, Biden says he will work to codify Roe.

President Joe Biden has promised that if voters elect more Democratic senators and keep the House, he will introduce legislation to codify abortion rights into law.

During a speech at a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, D.C. this November, Biden emphasized abortion rights as a voting issue for Democrats.

“We’re only 22 days away from, in my opinion, the most consequential moment in our history, at least in recent history — an election where the choice and stakes are crystal clear, especially when it comes to the right to choose,” Biden said Tuesday.

“We are currently short a few votes. If you value your freedom of choice, you must vote “He stated. “That is why the midterm elections are so important in electing more Democratic senators to the United States Senate and more Democrats to maintain control of the House of Representatives.”
