Not surprisingly, Biden administration officials strongly disagree with the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. But it is shocking that they denied it for foreign audiences. By trying to recast the United States as the world’s pro-abortion power, officials will weaken the legitimacy of US foreign policy and undermine America’s standing in the world.
America’s ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, issued a statement calling Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization “a cruel, dark and dangerous decision” and claims: “I have traveled the world advocating for women’s rights. Now, this decision makes my own country an exception among the developed nations of the world. ” Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted that “the State Department will remain fully committed to helping provide access to reproductive health services and promoting reproductive rights around the world.”
