Abortion is expected to be an important issue in this year's presidential election, and the Biden administration has announced steps to expand access to abortion medication and contraception.
On Monday, the 51st anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision, President Biden outlined several new actions, including expanding coverage for no-cost contraception through the Affordable Care Act under a new guidance from federal agencies. Federal employees also will receive greater access to contraception under guidelines issued to certain insurers.
"On this day and every day, Vice President Harris and I are fighting to protect women's reproductive freedom against Republicans' dangerous, extreme and out-of-touch agenda," Biden said in a statement. "We stand with the vast majority of Americans who support a woman's right to choose and continue to call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe in federal law once and for all."
