Tonight, President Biden will again call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law so women in every state have the freedom to make deeply personal health care decisions. And the Biden-Harris Administration will continue to take executive action to protect access to reproductive health care, including through ongoing implementation of the President’s three Executive Orders and a Presidential Memorandum issued since the Court overturned Roe v. Wade. To date, the Administration has taken action to:
- Protect access to abortion, including FDA-approved medication abortion;
- Defend access to emergency medical care;
- Support the ability to travel for reproductive health care;
- Strengthen access to high-quality, affordable contraception;
- Safeguard the privacy of patients and health care providers; and
- Ensure access to accurate information and legal resources.
