An executive order won’t reverse the perception that the White House isn’t meeting the moment following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. onesarahjones writes
Photo: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images On Friday, two weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, President Biden made an announcement. He had signed an executive order that would, the White House said in a fact sheet, protect access to various reproductive-health services, including abortion. “This was not a decision driven by the Constitution,” he said of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs.
Yet the order likely won’t end the perception that the Biden administration isn’t meeting the moment. The language in Friday’s fact sheet is often vague, and the steps outlined in it and in Biden’s speech follow weeks and even months of calls to action issued by reproductive-rights advocates and their allies in Congress. The administration looks cautious and slow to react at a moment of great peril for anyone who can become pregnant.
