The Overturning of Roe v. Wade

The dismantling of Roe v. Wade stands out as one of the most significant political failures during Biden's presidency. This Supreme Court ruling, which reversed nearly 50 years of legal precedent protecting abortion rights, has led to numerous states imposing total bans, severely restricting access for women. Despite Biden's campaign promise to codify Roe into law, he, like previous Democratic presidents, shirked the opportunity when it was available, preferring to keep the issue alive for electoral purposes. This failure illustrates a broader trend where the Democratic Party continuously exploits critical social issues to mobilize voters without taking substantial action once in power.
