Biden shared a screenshot of a Truth Social post by Trump on Wednesday morning and circled ‘I was able to kill Roe v. Wade’ in red.
‘That’s about as clear as it gets. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are responsible for killing Roe v. Wade,’ tweeted Biden in the afternoon.
‘And if you vote for them, they’ll go even further.’
Killing Roe v Wade
Trump boasted about using his power as president to appoint Supreme Court justices who voted to end the 1973 landmark decision.
‘After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the “shock” of everyone,’ wrote Trump. ‘And for the first time put the Pro Life movement in a strong negotiating position over the Radicals that are willing to kill babies even into their 9th month, and beyond.’
Trump also claimed credit for more than a dozen states passing laws limiting abortion since the high court overturned Roe v Wade in June.
‘Without me there would be no 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 15 weeks, or whatever is finally agreed to,’ Trump wrote.
Part of that sentence was underlined in red by Biden.
