“A law passed by Congress codifying abortion nationwide is the fastest way” to restore women’s lost rights, Biden added. “I would sign it immediately,” the president said.

“We cannot let a runaway Supreme Court take away our rights,” Biden attacked again, urging Americans to “vote, vote, vote” in the upcoming midterm elections in November.
In particular, the executive order signed today — within the limits of the president’s powers, which are rather limited in such circumstances — seeks to make some efforts to protect women who choose to have abortions in states where abortion is already banned, or nearly so (a dozen) and in those (roughly as many) preparing to pass new abolitionist or in any case particularly restrictive laws. Biden has directed the Departments of Justice and Health to resist any attempts to limit access to state-approved abortion pills or prevent travel to states where abortion is legal.
In addition, she has tasked the Federal Trade Commission (the federal agency that oversees trade) with ensuring that online platforms guarantee complete anonymity for women searching for abortion information online. Eventually he turned to his lawyers to try to form 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 abortion rights throughout the United States, which is to pass federal law that will apply in all fifty states. But to do that, he warned, “we need to elect more pro-choice MPs and senators in the next midterm elections.”
