Latorya Beasley was an Alabama woman whose fertility treatments were paused after the state’s Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally children.
He pledged to enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that established the right to an abortion before it was overturned in 2022, in federal law, “if Americans send me a Congress that supports the right to choose.”
Biden also called on Congress to revive a bipartisan deal that would have paired foreign assistance with border security measures. That deal fell apart after Trump and House Republicans came out against it.
After the speech, Biden got into a dispute with a Georgia congresswoman about the death of a University of Georgia student. An undocumented Venezuelan immigrant has been arrested in connection with her death.

He continued: “When you get to be my age certain things become clearer than ever. … My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy future based on core values that have defined America: honesty, decency, dignity, equality. To give everyone a fair shot, and to not give hate a safe harbor.
