A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to preview Biden’s actions, declined to share details on what a waiver would look like but said it would target low-income women served by Medicaid and help cover certain costs.
Biden, who is isolating because he continues to test positive for the coronavirus, is expected to sign the executive order ahead of Vice President Harris’s first meeting of an interagency task force on reproductive health access.
Biden referred last month to what he called “the Supreme Court’s terrible, extreme and, I think, so totally wrongheaded decision.”
Yawn. How about fighting for basic constitutional equality for ALL Women so we don’t have to fight state by state? Imagine telling slaves they could only be set free in states that vote against slavery. Who would CHEER for such a disgusting approach to basic human rights? ERA
If you have to couch abortion as nothing more than a 'reproductive health service,” then on some level you’re not comfortable with it.
They aren’t crossing state lines for reproductive health services. They are going strictly for abortion services. And this is going to end up in courts. Especially so due to the Hyde amendment.
REPUBLICANS: 'We want more small government! Abortion should be decided by the states, not the federal government!!!' KANSAS: 'OK!' REPUBLICANS: 'We want more big government! Abortion should be decided by the federal government, not the states!”
Will they feel the same way when couples cross state lines to help them conceive? I hope the system is overwhelmed by these people that can't afford the thousands of dollars.
