    Roe v. Wade fell during Biden’s presidency and the most he did was an executive order for women’s health research

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-and-announces-new-actions-to-advance-womens-health-research-and-innovation/

    how are you going to advance something that is now not here

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade

    The Catholic Church condemned the ruling by the Supreme Court.[141] Blackmun wrote in his diary, “Abortion flak—3 Cardinals—Vatican—Rochester wires!”[141]

    John Cardinal Krol, the archbishop of Philadelphia who was also the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Terence Cardinal Cooke, the archbishop of New York, both issued statements condemning the ruling.[175] Krol called the ruling “an unspeakable tragedy for this nation” that “sets in motion developments which are terrifying to contemplate.”[175] Cooke called the decision a “horrifying action” and added:[175]

    How many millions of children prior to their birth will never live to see the light of today because of the shocking action of the majority of the United States Supreme Court today?[175]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden#

    Biden is a moderate Democrat[549] who says his positions are deeply influenced by Catholic social teaching.

    how do the Republicans differ on abortion again?

          The president is not a dictator. It doesn’t work like that.

          Also, do you really think presidents should just be able to change the size of SCOTUS whenever they want to? What if Trump gets in and decides to shrink it to only the conservatives?

            he can nominate 100 people today and make the Senate turn down every one

                  I know enough about our legislature to know that they would not approve 100 SCOTUS justices. I’m not sure why you think they would allow any president to do that unless they were a rubber stamp legislature, which they are not.

                    they don’t need to approve 100 but letting 6 or 7 through is possible

        Wikipedia is now a prime example of misinformation and propaganda?

        of course he would skip over saying that

        he said he is deeply devoted to Catholicism on record right there on his and the Catholic’s Wikipedia page

        how else could one look at those facts?

          These aren’t facts. You’re laundering a broken dog whistle through a couple Wikipedia links. Crawl back into your cave you troglodyte.
