Reproductive Rights in the Spotlight: Biden's Executive Order and Conservative Pushback.

President Biden has issued an executive order to strengthen access to affordable, high-quality contraception and family planning services. The order directs the administration to build on progress made under the Affordable Care Act and take additional steps to promote access to contraception, including through Medicaid and Medicare. The order also encourages federally funded health centers to expand the availability and quality of voluntary family planning services and supports research and data analysis to document gaps and disparities in access to contraception. The order comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has had devastating implications for women's health.
