Washington Free Beacon President Joe Biden is considering executive orders to protect abortion access as Democrats have moved to pass laws in recent weeks with the future of Roe v. Wade in jeopardy.

If the Supreme Court overturns Roe this month, abortion will become illegal in 20 states, which the president said will “cause a mini revolution” of state-level legislation by Democrats. “I don’t think the country will stand for it,” Biden added.

Tenth Amendment is incorporated by reference into the Constitution by the Latin maxim expressio unius est exclusio alterius meaning powers expressed excludes all others not expressed and of like or unlike kind, same reserved to the people or the States.
