The US state of Texas has massively tightened its abortion law. When asked by a reporter how US President Joe Biden could support abortion despite his beliefs, press spokeswoman Jen Psaki responded with a counterattack.
The White House spokeswoman caused a stir with a comment on a new strict abortion law in the state of Texas. “I know you have never faced these decisions and have never been pregnant, but for the women out there who faced these decisions, it is an incredibly difficult thing,” said Jen Psaki on Thursday (local time) at one Press conference at the White House. A journalist had previously raised the question of how US President Joe Biden could support abortion despite his beliefs.
“It’s a woman’s body and it’s her choice”
The Texas Heartbeat Act prohibits abortion once the fetus’s heartbeat has been determined. This can be the case as early as the sixth week of pregnancy. Many women do not yet know that they are pregnant at this point. There is only an exception for medical emergencies. Biden had responded indignantly that the law had come into force on Wednesday and the US Supreme Court had rejected an urgent motion against it. The Supreme Court’s decision was “an unprecedented attack on a woman’s constitutional rights,” he said.
Psaki’s answer to the reporter’s question was widely shared on social networks. 78-year-old Biden is an avowed Catholic. He often speaks about his faith and keeps emphasizing that faith helped him get through personal tragedy. “He believes it’s a woman’s right. It’s a woman’s body and it’s her choice,” said 42-year-old Psaki of the president’s stance on abortion.
