“We cannot allow an out-of-control Supreme Court to take away our rights,” biden again attacked, urging Americans to “vote, vote, vote” in the upcoming Midterm elections in November.
Specifically, the executive order signed today seeks – within the limits of presidential powers, which in circumstances like this are rather limited – to put some stakes in order to protect women who decide to terminate a pregnancy in States where abortion is already prohibited. or almost (a dozen) and in those (roughly as many) that are preparing to approve new abolitionist or in any case particularly restrictive legislation. Biden has ordered the ministries of justice and health to oppose any attempts to restrict access to federally permitted abortion pills, or to obstruct travel to states where abortion is permitted.
In addition, it has mandated the Federal Trade Commission (the federal body that oversees trade) to make sure that online platforms guarantee absolute anonymity for women who search online for information on termination of pregnancy. Finally, he turned to his legal staff to try to set up teams of volunteer lawyers who would guarantee free legal protection to women facing legal cases in their respective states of residence.
All of this, Biden explained, while waiting to do the only thing that could restore the right to abortion in all of the United States, which is to pass a federal law valid in all fifty states. But to do so, he warned, “we need to elect more deputies and senators pro-choice (in favor of freedom of choice, ndr) in the next midterm elections “.
