The Congressional Progressive Caucus is urging President Biden to undertake a flurry of executive orders to circumvent opposition by the GOP-controlled House to far-left priorities, including access to abortion services and expanding protections for illegal immigrants.
The nearly 100-member group released a 13-page wish list of executive orders it wants Mr. Biden to immediately adopt. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who chairs the caucus, was optimistic, saying many of the proposed orders complement Mr. Biden’s policies and public positions.
Topping the list of priorities is expanding access to abortion nationwide. Progressives want Mr. Biden to declare a public health emergency to allow the federal government to mobilize funds and resources to help facilitate abortions. Lawmakers also want the White House to allow licensed healthcare providers to practice telehealth medicine nationwide for the purpose of prescribing abortion medication.
