FILE - President Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress at the Capitol, March 7, 2024, in Washington. Seated at left is Vice President Kamala Harris and at right is House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. Biden made abortion and reproductive rights a central theme of his State of the Union speech, but he never mentioned the word "abortion." Pushback over how he addressed the issue is the latest example of Biden's fraught history with the topic. (Shawn Thew/Pool via AP, File)
