US President Joe Biden said his administration is trying to do a 'lot of things to accommodate the rights of women'. 9News

says he is considering declaring a public health emergency to free up federal resources to promote abortion access, even though the White House has said it doesn't seem like "a great option."

The president, in remarks to reporters during a stop on a bike ride near his family's Delaware beach house, said he lacks the power to force the dozen-plus states with strict restrictions or outright bans on abortion to allow the procedure."I don't have the authority to say that we're going to reinstate Roe v Wade as the law of the land," he said, referring to the Supreme Court's decision from 1973 that had established a national right to abortion.

Biden said his administration is trying to do a "lot of things to accommodate the rights of women" after the ruling, including considering declaring a public health emergency to free up federal resources.Such a move has been pushed by advocates, but White House officials have questioned both its legality and effectiveness, and noted it would almost certainly face legal challenges.

President lols please

Joe Biden signs executive order to protect access to abortion, but warns fight won't end therePresident Joe Biden signed an executive order that seeks to protect access to abortion, but says it will be up to voters to elect senators to restore the abortion rights that were removed under the Supreme Court's latest ruling. If you or someone you know is impacted by family and domestic violence, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit In an emergency, call 000. Joe Biden has opposed Roe vs Wade for decades. He hasn't changed his mind. Democrats could introduce legislation right now, but they won't, because their alleged interest in abortion rights in nothing but a fundraising scheme. For a 'world news' show, is surprisinly ignorant of so much of world affairs.
