Biden Admin Considers Declaring a ‘National Emergency’ to Protect And Expand Abortion Rights
Of course they are
Because the Biden Administration has blood lust in their veins and has made child sacrifice their god, they’re evaluating whether or not to declare a national emergency to expand abortion rights across the country, even in states where conservative legislators have severely restricted it, according to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
In June, dozens of Democrats signed a letter urging the administration to act decisively to see abortion flourish, writing:
A public health emergency declaration can provide significant new authority and flexibility for a federal emergency response. Relevant activities may include but are not limited to Public Health Services Corps team deployments, Medicaid State Plan Amendment flexibilities to support safe-haven states, and the ability to accelerate access to new medications authorized for abortion.
We respectfully urge you to quickly issue a National Emergency and Public Health Emergency declaration and use your authority under the PREP Act to protect abortion access.
In an interview with Axios, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said that “there are discussions on a wide range of measures…that we can take to try to protect people’s rights.” He notes that while there “hasn’t been a “full assessment” done on what the emergency declaration would look like, there’s still “an evaluation” on the topic and it’s being considered as one of several potential options. Another HHS spokesperson would later add:
“We are constantly exploring additional actions we can take to protect and expand access to reproductive health care, including abortion care, and are prioritizing the actions that can give us the highest impact and most durable solutions,”
