SCOTUS
Standing behind Justices of the US Supreme Court, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) (top L) stands and applauds as US President Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address on March 7, 2024.
  • President Joe Biden criticized US Supreme Court justices in the State of the Union address.
  • He hit out at the decision to overturn the Roe v Wade abortion rights ruling. 
  • The president said the backlash from female voters would soon be felt.

President Joe Biden directly challenged US Supreme Court justices in his State of the Union speech Thursday for overturning the landmark Roe v Wade legislation.

During the speech, Biden appeared to veer away from his scripted remarks when discussing the conservative-majority court's decision in 2022 to overturn the 1973 federal abortion rights ruling.
