White House Considers Declaring National Emergency Over Abortion Pills: REPORT

President Joe Biden’s White House is considering executive action to make abortion pills accessible nationwide despite state laws restricting the drug, according to Politico.

The administration may use executive power granted under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act to declare a public health emergency to allow abortion providers and pharmacists to distribute chemical abortion pills, even in states where abortion is heavily restricted, according to Politico.

White House staffers prefer the PREP Act option, which would allow Biden to shield abortion providers from criminal prosecution, compared to other proposals, but they remain skeptical that the emergency actions could survive legal challenges in court. It is also unclear how long the order could last given that public health emergencies are temporary, according to Politico.

Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, along with 16 of their Senate colleagues, urged Biden to take executive action to protect abortion access, including through the use of the PREP Act, in a July 13 letter.

“While it is impossible to immediately undo the damage inflicted by the Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe v. Wade, the Biden-Harris Administration must use every tool within its power to fight back,” the letter said. “We urge you to declare national and public health emergencies over Americans’ access to reproductive care.”

There is no emergency, thus nothing to declare.

All of this is sounding more and more like 1933 and what the last group of fascists did with emergency decrees.

There is nothing democratic about DEMOCRATS.

Calling everything a national emergency for the sake of implementing an illegal authoritarian decree is just


When everything is an emergency, nothing is.

Remember right after RvW was overturned Gestapo chief Garland threatened states not to attempt to block abortion pills from being mailed?

Now there's this. Obviously a plan that's been up their sleeve for awhile, ready to be enacted.
