Biden Considers Declaring National Health Emergency in Response to Abortion Ruling

President Joe Biden says heโ€™s considering declaring an emergency to utilize federal resources to promote abortion access, even though the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last month.

โ€œI donโ€™t have the authority to say that weโ€™re going to reinstate Roe v. Wade as the law of the land,โ€ Biden told reporters on July 10 in Delaware, adding that he believes that Congress is the entity to codify the ruling into law.

Biden was on his way to ride his bike near his private residence in Delaware when he spoke with reporters, who asked if he was considering declaring a public health emergency on abortions. Biden responded by saying that he is now asking White House staffers to determine โ€œwhether I have the authorityโ€ and what the impacts might entail.

His administration is attempting to pursue policies and rules that do a โ€œlot of things to accommodate the rights of womenโ€ after the Supreme Courtโ€™s decision, he told reporters.

Also in his remarks, Biden called on pro-abortion demonstrators to โ€œkeep protestingโ€ and โ€œkeep making your point. Itโ€™s critically important.โ€ He didnโ€™t address the violent threats against certain Supreme Court justices or attacks on pro-life organizations and pregnancy centers.

Biden on July 8 signed an executive order to provide more access to services to terminate pregnancies.

Feasibility

Also on July 8, a White House official, Jen Klein, told reporters that declaring a public health emergency โ€œdidnโ€™t seem like a great optionโ€ over access to abortion, which conservative and religious groups have said is immoral and tantamount to murder.

โ€œWhen we looked at the public health emergency, we learned a couple of things: One is that it doesnโ€™t free very many resources,โ€ she told reporters. โ€œItโ€™s whatโ€™s in the public health emergency fund, and thereโ€™s very little moneyโ€”tens of thousands of dollars in it. So that didnโ€™t seem like a great option. And it also doesnโ€™t release a significant amount of legal authority. And so thatโ€™s why we havenโ€™t taken that action yet.โ€
