President of the United States Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order to help ensure access to abortion following the Supreme Court’s decision to reject abortion rights.

This executive order is the second showing Biden’s administration’s efforts to safeguard access to abortion care and contraceptives.

The signing will take place in the inaugural meeting of Biden’s recently established Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access.

This second order on reproductive rights by Biden’s administration is expected to face criticisms according to the Guardian, for failing to provide many details on how and when abortion rights will be protected.

Abortion is now banned in over 10 states in America after overturning Roe v Wade in June.

According to Pew Research Center, more than 60% of Americans believe in the legal right to abortion in all or most cases.

Biden’s efforts are supposed to help the cause but cannot reverse the overturning of the ruling, and he has publicly acknowledged that his options to expand abortion access remain very limited.
