Acknowledging its limitations in safeguarding abortion rights nationwide, Biden called on Americans to 'Vote. Vote. Vote.'
His executive order also directs agencies to work to educate medical providers and insurers about how and when they are required to share privileged patient information with authorities — an effort to protect women who seek or utilize abortion services. He is also asking the Federal Trade Commission to take steps to protect the privacy of those seeking information about reproductive care online and establish an interagency task force to coordinate federal efforts to safeguard access to abortion.
He predicted that women would turn out in “record numbers” in frustration over the court's decision, and said he expected"millions and millions of men will be taking up the fight beside them.” “Ultimately, Congress is going to have to act to codify Roe into federal law,” Biden said last week during a virtual meeting with Democratic governors.
But Lawrence Gostin, who runs the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health at Georgetown Law, described Biden’s plans as “underwhelming.”
