Biden signs executive orders to safeguard abortion as frustration mounts

US President Joe Biden has taken executive action to protect access to women’s health services amid growing frustration over his response to abortion rights being wound back in America.- removing the constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy in the US - Biden has used his presidential powers to try to mitigate some of the devastating consequences of the decision.

Speaking at the White House alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden described the court’s decision as “terrible”, “extreme” and “totally wrong”. He has also urged voters to turn out in force for the midterm elections in November to elect more pro-choice politicians and expand the Democrats wafer-thin majority in Congress, which will enable abortion rights to be codified in the future.

But progressive Democrats, advocates and state governors have been urging Biden for more, such as using federal land to set up abortion clinics, or declare a public health emergency to protect women in need of care. So far, the White House has been reluctant to do so, arguing such moves could raise too many legal complications or be challenged in the courts by opposing states.

Mississippi this week became the latest state to invoke its trigger laws on Thursday, forcing the closure of the abortion clinic at the centre of the Supreme Court’s decision: the Jackson Women’s Health Organisation.

FarrahTomazin I thought presidents who try to override the supreme court via executive order are Dictators Who Threaten Democracy™ though, or has that gone back to being ok now?

FarrahTomazin So the supreme court ruled that individual states via the democratic process, get to decide their own laws. Biden signs a futile fiat executive order, ignoring the democratic process of passing a federal law to stifle states rights to decide their own laws.

FarrahTomazin His bill add meaningless protections. States will make their own rules.
