Biden backs ending filibuster to codify abortion rights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Specifically, Congress should pass a law that would codify the right to privacy as a whole, Biden said, which would extend to abortion and marriage equality.
49% : "Justice Clarence Thomas confirmed many of our deepest fears about where this decision may lead: taking aim at additional long-standing precedent and cherished privacy rights, from access to contraception and in-vitro fertilization to marriage equality," she wrote.
38% : The bill fell 11 votes short of the necessary 60 to end the filibuster, with all Republicans voting against the legislation and an additional "no" from Manchin, who argued the legislation went too far because it would block states from imposing any restrictions on abortion.
37% : Those calls were renewed in response to the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on June 24 that struck down the landmark Roe decision, which legalized abortion nationwide.
37% : Biden's comments come in response to the court's recent abortion ruling overturning Roe and Justice Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion that the court should reexamine its past rulings on contraception access and same-sex marriage.
