You're just not thinking as creatively as a Republican. That's the main problem with shit libs like Biden. They're not willing to be creative and use the actual authority they do have. They demand more power while not responsibly using the power they do have. They just do nothing and bitch that they don't have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. People floated all sorts of options for Biden to protect abortion rights after Roe fell, using just the power of the presidency, no action required by Congress. Because he's a shit lib, he decided to do nothing instead.
Among those things proposed were:
Offering abortion services on US military bases in states were abortion is illegal. Either by military doctors or by private groups hosted on military bases.
Put protection in place on federal data sharing with local and state police to restrict its use for enforcing anti-abortion laws.
Put in vending machines in post offices selling abortion pills OTC.
Restricting funding to states that restrict abortion.
Come up with many tactics like these. If SCOTUS rules against it, adjust the tactic slightly and try it again with something different. SCOTUS can only move so quickly, and it would take years for them to strike down any particular scheme.
These are the kinds of things Republicans do when they control the White House. Democrats don't show this level of creativity. Instead they just bitch about not having a 60 vote majority in the Senate.
Yeah, I agree that the Biden Administration could have tried to do more to stop it. I use Roe v Wade as an example though since it's commonly used for the argument that Democrats and Republicans are the same...even though Biden wasn't the one who overturned it and was done by the supreme court that was appointed by Trump during his first term
