The president's executive order, called "Protecting Access to Reproductive Healthcare Services," states that abortion is a private decision and "should not be subject to government interference." His order says that the federal government is taking action to protect healthcare service delivery and promote access to critical reproductive healthcare services including abortion.
Biden's Executive Order
- President Biden signed an executive order to expand access to abortion across the country
- The goal is to ensure that "pregnant women and those experiencing pregnancy loss-such as miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies-receive the full protections for emergency medical care"
- Additionally, the order ensures that women's health information is kept private
Biden's order and remarks come as Women's March and other pro-abortion groups pressure him to take action and "codify reproductive rights."
- "Fight to protect the women that brought you to power or step aside and [we'll] elect someone who will," Rachel O’Leary Carmona, executive director of Women’s March, said in a written statement.
