Some of President Joe Biden's staunchest supporters and allies are skeptical of his pledge to protect abortion rights should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.
Following Texas's passage of a six-month abortion ban, Biden directed his Gender Policy Council to work in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services and White House counsel to map out executive actions he can take to ensure wide-scale abortion access.
The official stressed that this would only be a temporary fix, concluding that"it's a near certainty that Republicans would scrutinize and remove any line item in the president's future budget requests they suspect might be helping women receive medical care." "If the Court does overturn Roe, it will fall on our nation’s elected officials at all levels of government to protect a woman’s right to choose," he wrote Tuesday."It will fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November. At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice Senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, which I will work to pass and sign into law.
Outside experts have floated two other specific proposals Biden could take, yet both would likely also face legal challenges. White House officials did not deny exploring the options.
