Biden was responding to a questioner’s concerns about the survival of “reproductive rights” if judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the nation’s highest court.

“Cassidy Brown said having birth control and reproductive health care enabled her to start a career before having a family,” an Associated Press noted of the exchange. “She asked Biden about his plan if President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett overturned women’s reproductive rights.”

Biden responded that he would make Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that made obtaining an abortion a constitutional right, the “law of the land.”

“We don’t know exactly what Barrett will do, although the expectation is that she may very well move to overrule Roe, and what the only thing – the only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land,” Biden said. “That’s what I would do.”

It’s not clear how Biden would accomplish his mission. Overturning Roe would likely dismiss the idea that access to abortion is a constitutional right, making it nearly impossible to pass a law legalising the practice without embroiling the federal government in endless litigation.
