Biden will sign the order just a day after voters in Kansas overwhelmingly rejected a law that would have banned abortions.
For the second time since Roe v. Wade was overturned, President Joe Biden will sign an executive order in an effort to maintain some level of access to abortions.
According to the White House, the executive order will direct Health and Human Services to provide assistance to women who need to travel to obtain an abortion. The order hints that Medicaid could be used to provide travel assistance for those who need to travel across state lines to get an abortion.
“These actions could include providing technical assistance for health care providers who may be confused or unsure of their obligations in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision,” the White House said.
