The Democrat promised again that his administration would continue to do so ” to protect “ women’s health e “to call on Congress to restore” the constitutional right to abortion, which however has little chance of success, given the division of the two chambers between Democrats and Republicans.

The issue of abortion is tearing American society apart and could play a central role in the upcoming US presidential elections.

Several rallies and events are planned across the United States on Saturday, organized by pro- and anti-abortion protesters. A large rally is underway in the federal capital of the evangelical and conservative Faith and Freedom movement, which has made the ban on abortion one of its main battles, in which Donald Trump is expected to participate on Saturday.
