Joe Biden on Friday condemned the ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that overturns Roe v. Wade while he also criticized comments Justice Clarence Thomas made in his concurring opinion about LGBTQ+ marriage.The president delivered remarks to the nation hours after the court's decision was announced.

He decried the ruling, saying it will harm "so many more rights that we've come to take for granted, that are ingrained in the fabric of this country," such as the "right to marry the person you love.""Justice Thomas said as much today.
