Biden said the quickest way to uphold the right to abortion is to pass a national law. The challenge is to vote for it. The good thing is that elections are due in November.

The court's decision was contrary to the opinion of most Americans that the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision should be upheld, which held that women had a right to decide whether or not to have an abortion. This gave women in America the right to a safe abortion.
