The View dedicated a segment on Friday to debate who is to blame for the US Supreme Court‘s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
With Saturday marking one-year since the nation’s highest court issuing its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the hosts discussed a recent comment by Vice President Kamala Harris calling for federal legislation to codify abortion protections.

Host Joy Behar said Congress had the chance to pass legislation in recent years but “dropped the ball” to do so.
“So what makes her think that this is going to happen now?” Behar asked.

“I know that Democrats knew this was an issue cause the first thing they asked everybody up for nomination was: ‘now tell us what you’d do with Roe v. Wade?'” Sarah Haines said. “But the fact that they kept coming at these nominees says they always knew it was vulnerable, they should have done something when they had the votes, and that’s why we’re sitting here now.”
