Watch live: President Biden addresses reproductive health care

President Joe Biden will direct the federal government on Friday to take steps to protect access to abortion and other reproductive services following the recent Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Biden will sign an executive order instructing the Department of Health and Human Services to protect and expand access to abortion care, including access to medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective for over 20 years.

The order tasks the department with taking additional steps to expand access to reproductive health services, including family planning services and providers, emergency contraception and long-acting reversible contraception like intrauterine devices, according to a fact sheet distributed by the White House.

The administration also is promising to increase outreach and public education on access to reproductive health care serves, including abortion, and to take steps to ensure the safety of patients and providers, including mobile clinics sent to borders to provide care for out-of-state patients.

  1. The infamous Price is Right losing horn plays in my head every time Joe and Kamala show their faces, let alone say or do something stupid. Don’t even get me started with Nancy Pelosi, whose presence alone is a health hazard. Reader, take care:)

  2. The whole period of 30 years of the country’s independence Kulibayev family robbed businesses, people. They were part of so called mighty Nazarbayev clan and this has to end. Only developed countries like yours are able to help to balance the justice in regards of this family. This process has already started. Even the latest movie about Nursultan Nazarbayev called Golden man produced by Oliver Stone tells the world the truth. Nazarbayev in his interview said himself that he shot peacefu civilians during events in Zhana Ozen in 2011. He admitted it himself. Crimes like this are against all legal and human rights. The small group of people has stolen all from the people and ruined the economy. Now the country is surviving. All because of bunch of criminals including Timur Kulibayev, Dinara Kulibayeva, Bolat Nazarbayev, Umut
    Shayakhmerova, Raushan Sagdiyeva. Howcome all of these crimes are unnoticed by the world leaders like you?!

  3. “It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who register to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do so, [end of quote] [repeat the line].” – Joetato Biden completely in his right mind, 2022. Truly inspiring, he’s clearly speaking from the heart here and not the teleprompter instructions. Is he going to read the brand of teleprompter next?
