Joe Biden signs order on abortion access after high court ruling
Biden has faced mounting pressure from Democrats to be more forceful on the subject after the Supreme Court ended a constitutional right to the procedure two weeks ago.
His executive order also directs agencies to work to educate medical providers and insurers about how and when they are required to share privileged patient information with authorities — an effort to protect women who seek or utilize abortion services. He is also asking the Federal Trade Commission to take steps to protect the privacy of those seeking information about reproductive care online and establish an interagency task force to coordinate federal efforts to safeguard access to abortion.
“We need two additional pro-choice senators and a pro-choice house to codify Roe,” he said. “Your vote can make that a reality.” “Ultimately, Congress is going to have to act to codify Roe into federal law,” Biden said last week duringThe tasking to the Justice Department and HHS pushes the agencies to fight in court to protect women, but it conveys no guarantees that the judicial system will take their side against potential prosecution by states that have moved to outlaw abortion.
“There’s nothing that I saw that would affect the lives of ordinary poor women living in red states,” he said.
