President Biden Issues Executive Order on Abortion

NNPA NEWSWIRE — Protests and outcry have dominated the political sphere since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last month, triggering immediate bans on abortion in some states. Biden has said he’s without authority to do anything about trying to reverse the high court’s decision. He previously noted that an executive order would fall short of any meaningful impact on the ruling. “No executive action from the president can do that,” Biden said last month when asking Congress to codify Roe v. Wade.
