Biden and Democrats have used abortion issues as a bludgeon against Republicans in multiple elections following 2022's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision. Biden says Trump's statement is merely an attempt to sidestep the attack.
"Trump is scrambling. He's worried that since he's the one responsible for overturning Roe, the voters will hold him accountable in 2024. Well, I have news for Donald. They will. America was built on personal freedom and liberty. So, there is nothing more un-American than having our personal freedoms taken away. And that is what Donald Trump has done," Biden wrote.

In the wake of the Supreme Court move, Republican-dominated states have implemented a new wave of restrictions on abortion, like Florida's six-week ban, which will be on the state's ballot in November. Meanwhile, Democratic states have expanded their abortion rights and often opened their doors to non-state residents.
