Biden Admin Weighs Setting Up Abortion Clinics on Federal Lands in Red States: ‘Every Option Is on the Table’

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 28 Jun 2022

President Joe Biden’s administration is weighing setting up abortion providers on federal land in Republican-controlled states, according to Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Xavier Becerra.

Becerra said that “every option is on the table” during Tuesday remarks about the fate of abortion in the United States following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.

Becerra said HHS is “aware of a number of ideas and proposals” when asked about the possibility of setting up abortion clinics on federal lands.

Becerra said:

    What I can tell you is that we are aware of a number of ideas and proposals, many of which we have been considering internally ourselves. We have made no decisions yet. We certainly would have a conversation with the president to make sure we implement his directives to us in trying to protect women’s reproductive healthcare services.

Becerra’s remarks come after prominent Congressional Democrats have called on Biden to install abortion clinics on federal lands.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is among those who have made such calls. Warren said Biden should “explore just how much we can start using federal lands as a way to protect people who need access to abortions in all the states that either have banned abortions or are clearly on the threshold of doing so.”

“There is much we can do at the federal level administratively under current law. We need to do it,” Warren added.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also urged Biden to do the same, calling the move “the babiest of baby steps.”

“I’ll start with the babiest of the babiest of baby steps: Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now,” Ocasio-Cortez said outside of the Supreme Court on Friday.

Democrats sure know how to agitate race riots and extreme vagina hysteria, if only they could govern half that well!
Last Presidential election was agitation of easily stampeded fools that wanted to feel their feeling and ignore facts and reality, and what a price we are paying now!

On Federal lands?  Even if the Bureau of Land Management owns the land, state laws still apply.  Sounds like a good way to get a lot of physicians to be fined, have their licenses revoked or even be arrested by the states.  Maybe if they use military doctors and nurses they can claim the UCMJ, rather than state law governs their actions, though I'm not sure of the niceties of when that would actually be the case.

That's right - except for Indian reservations.

Agree.  Would like to see the feds try that at a facility in Texas.

Am obvious subversion of state law which is the principal authority, as per SCOTUS
