Biden faces impatient Left and has few options as Roe hangs in balance

The day after a draft opinion showing the Supreme Court on the cusp of overturning Roe v. Wade leaked to the press, President Joe Biden found himself in a familiar place: in the most left-wing Democrats’ crosshairs.

Biden condemned the opinion as “radical” and said it goes “way overboard.” But he inflamed pro-abortion rights activists when he spoke about the landmark ruling that allows women “to abort a child.” Chanting “Shame on Joe” outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday, protesters chided the president for failing to prepare the public for the decision being reversed.
