Pres. Biden: 'I don't think the Court—or for that matter the Republicans who for decades have pushed their extreme agenda—have a clue about the power of American women. But they're about to find out.'
President Joe Biden signs an executive order to help safeguard women's access to abortion and contraception at The White House, July 8,2022, in Washington. Vice President Kamala Harris, left, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco stand at his side., President Joe Biden signed an executive order aimed at protecting access to abortion nationwide despite efforts by some states to outlaw or severely restrict it.
His order largely finalizes what has already been announced by the administration -- including instructions to the Justice Department to make sure women can travel out-of-state for abortion care. Biden has also said he'll provide leave for federal workers traveling for medical care, which could set an example for private companies to do the same.
The agency is instructed to increase outreach and public education efforts regarding access to reproductive health care services -- abortion included -- to get reliable information to the public. The White House didn't seem too enthusiastic about the idea, stating it could have "dangerous ramifications." The suggestion will not be included in Biden's executive order.
