President Joe Biden announced that he would defy the Supreme Court and state lawmakers by signing an executive order to federally “protect” and “expand access to” abortion. The Biden administration claimed in a briefing that the “only way” to secure women’s rights is through protecting Roe vs. Wade as “federal law.” The same memo argued that the Supreme Court’s June 24, 2022 ruling striking down Roe vs. Wade stripped women of their rights “to privacy, autonomy, freedom, and equality.”
