The Biden administration will take steps to help shore up access to medication abortion and protect patients and providers in response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade on Friday, Health Secretary Xavier Becerra said Tuesday, as Democrats and abortion rights advocates have demanded action from the White House after the court’s monumental ruling....
Becerra will direct HHS’ civil rights office to ensure that privacy and non-discrimination rights for abortion patients and providers are protected. The department will also work to ensure that the “clinical judgment” of healthcare providers to treat pregnant patients are protected, meaning that it will still be possible for them to perform abortions when it’s medically necessary.
The agency will also protect access to family planning methods like IUDs—as birth control access also comes under threat—including ensuring family planning providers are covered under Medicaid to expand access to more underprivileged Americans.“There is no magic bullet, but if there is something we can do, we will find it and we will do it at HHS,” Becerra said Tuesday, saying the agency will “leave no stone unturned.
