Biden and Harris Campaign for Abortion Rights Amid Nationwide Debate

The administration pushes for restoration of Roe v. Wade rights, while Republicans tread cautiously on the issue.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are campaigning for abortion rights in Virginia, marking the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, which was overturned two years ago.
Vice President Harris is expected to embark on a nationwide tour focusing on abortion, which she describes as an integral part of the country's tradition of personal liberty.
Biden and Harris are pushing for the restoration of the rights established in Roe v. Wade, despite the current makeup of the Supreme Court and Republican control of the House.
The White House announced the creation of a team dedicated to helping hospitals comply with the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, which requires hospitals receiving federal money to provide life-saving treatment when a patient is at risk of dying.
Republicans are shying away from the abortion issue or calling for a truce, fearful of sparking more backlash from voters.
