Biden backs exception to Senate filibuster to protect abortion access

President in Madrid says he supports exception to the filibuster for this action to deal with the supreme court decision'

Joe Biden said on Thursday he would support an exception to the Senate filibuster to protect access to abortion, after the supreme court overturned the right in a historic ruling this month.

If the filibuster gets in the way, it's like voting rights, Biden said during a press conference at the Nato summit in Madrid, adding that there should be an exception to the filibuster for this action to deal with the supreme court decision".
