Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that ensured a nationwide right to abortion, but it's also been seven months since the justices overturned its landmark Roe.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Florida is critical because its rules for abortion are less restrictive than its neighbors, making it a relatively safe harbor for women in the region who are trying to end their pregnancies. But more restrictions could be considered by the Republican-controlled state government., said “women should be able to make these deeply personal decisions free from political interference.
Democrats still lost control of the House and expanded their Senate majority by only one vote, meaning legislation that would create a nationwide right to abortion remains out of reach. Not all of the administration's ideas have panned out. Biden announced last year that states could apply for waivers to use Medicaid dollars to pay for women to travel to get abortions. No waivers have been sought.
“We’re going to continue to work with states like Minnesota that want to do the things it takes to embed in our laws the protections that forever prevent any American from losing access to health care,” Becerra said during an event with Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and lawmakers.
