Biden blasts “radical” Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade
President Joe Biden has blasted what he’s calling a radical decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn abortion rights
Washington has been stunned by the leaking of a draft decision from America’s top court, which could see the end of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalised abortion.
The draft supreme court decision on Roe versus Wade has been denounced by Democrats and stunned moderate conservatives.
Politico published the draft, but it’s now been confirmed by the court that the text is authentic.
But the court stresses it doesn’t represent the final decision of the justices.
Even still, it’s a white hot issue across the United States.
Democrats are now scrambling to find a response to the news that abortion access for American women could now come to an end.
US President Joe Biden warns the decision. could have far wider implications.
“It’s a fundamental shift in American jurisprudence.”

The Roe decision recognised that the right to personal privacy under the U.S. Constitution protects a woman’s decision to terminate her pregnancy.
“It becomes the law, and if what is written is what remains, it goes far beyond the concern of whether or not there is the right to choose,” Biden added.
“It goes to other basic rights – the right to marriage, the right to determine a whole range of things.”
The President is now urging voters at the upcoming midterms to elect lawmakers who support abortion rights so Congress can pass national legislation, making Roe permanent.
Protests have erupted across the United States, particularly in Washington, and outside the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile the court wants to know how this draft decision became public.
Chief Justice John Roberts has launched an investigation into how the draft was leaked, calling it a “betrayal.”
A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.
The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.
“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
