Biden Signs Executive Order to Protect Abortion Access
President Biden on Friday signed an executive order to protect abortion access in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to take steps to protect access to abortion medication and to protect pregnant women who travel to other states to obtain abortions.
The order also directs the Department of Justice to protect women's right to travel to other states for abortions and to protect access to contraception.
The order is a limited response to the Supreme Court's decision, but it is the most significant action that Biden has taken to protect abortion access since the ruling.
