President Joe Biden reacted to the decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday, expressing his strong disagreement with their decision. “It just stuns me,” Biden said, pausing as he read his speech from the teleprompter. “Imagine a young woman having to carry a child as the consequence of incest with no option.” The president decried the decision by the Supreme Court as “cruel” and leaving a “dark shadow” on the country by removing the right to abortion in many states. “It’s a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the Supreme Court in my view,” Biden said, calling it a “sad day for the court and for the country.” The president also warned the decision threatened Supreme Court recognition of the right to use contraception and the right to gay marriage. “This is an extreme and dangerous path the court is now taking us on,” he said.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday issued a ruling on gun laws by striking a New York state law that restricted who is able to carry a concealed weapon in public. The law, similar to California’s, requires applicants to “demonstrate” good cause or a special need for self-defense. In California, concealed carry weapon permits are issued by local law enforcement, either a city’s chief of police or sheriff. Experts in gun laws and use in California agree that permits are more easily accessible in rural jurisdictions and more difficult to obtain in metropolitan cities. Based on the Supreme Court’s ruling, however, that may change, a law professor at UC Davis School of Law told CBS13.
