Biden to take executive action on abortion access following immense pressure from Democrats
Fox News
President Biden will sign an executive order on Friday in an attempt to protect access to abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to an AP report.
Biden is expected to instruct the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to push back against any state efforts to limit a woman’s ability to go across state lines for a legal abortion or to get federally approved abortion medication, according to the AP report.
In a further attempt to protect women seeking an abortion, Biden’s executive order will also direct agencies to work to educate medical providers and insurers about how and when they are required to share privileged patient information with authorities. He will also ask the Federal Trade Commission to take steps to protect the privacy of those seeking information about reproductive care online.
