According to a fact sheet, the executive order will protect access to several reproductive healthcare services, including abortion and contraception.

The order also safeguards access to medication abortions, also known as abortion pills, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Progressive politicians and abortion rights advocates have been public about their disappointment with the Biden administration, asking Biden and other Democrats to do more to protect reproductive rights following the overturning of Roe v Wade two weeks ago.

US House representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat of New York, urged Democrats to push back harder against the rollback of abortion protections, tweeting last week: “Use the bully pulpit. We need more.”

A group of more than 20 Black Democratic congresswomen signed a letter last week, urging Biden to declare a public health emergency following the rollback of Roe v Wade. “In this unprecedented moment, we must act urgently as if lives depend on it because they do,” the legislators wrote.

You think?

There were some on the Left wanting him to use federal lands (such as military bases) as "abortion sanctuaries", never mind it would violate the Hyde Amendment and God knows how many other laws....
