The Biden administration will propose new privacy safeguards for women seeking abortions
The new rule proposal comes as Vice President Kamala Harris is set to convene an interagency taskforce meeting on reproductive rights at the White House. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra will also attend.
The Justice Department and the manufacturer of mifepristone have already appealed, asking the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to put on hold the judge’s ruling that could make the drug unavailable nationwide starting Friday at midnight. But before Wednesday, the White House had yet to outline what other steps it could take to secure its availability.
