The president’s discomfort with abortion was in the spotlight last year when Roe was overturned. But, he has taken steps unilaterally to protect access to the abortion pill and to increase access to contraception and family planning.

President Biden on Tuesday said he is not big on abortion, as a practicing Catholic, but defended the reproductive rights that were previously granted under Roe v. Wade. “I’m a practicing Catholic. I’m not big on abortion, but guess what? Roe vs. Wade got it right,” Biden said at a fundraiser with about 100 donors in Chevy Chase, Md.
He also criticized states that have passed laws restricting access to abortion. More than 20 states have passed such laws since the Supreme Court ending the roughly 50-year precedent set by Roe, guaranteeing a right to an abortion. Biden is the second Catholic president in U.S. history, following former President Kennedy. On Saturday evenings, he is often found attending Catholic mass either in Wilmington, Del., or in Washington, D.C., and the White House has repeatedly said that his faith is very personal to him.
