The fact the White House is considering a limited abortion health emergency declaration should perhaps not be surprising. President Biden has previously said he has asked his administration to consider whether he has the authority to declare such a public health emergency, although the US Government may be fearful of another Supreme Court showdown. Now, according to Adam Cancryn for Politico, a narrow public health directive aimed at safeguarding access to abortion pills is increasingly considered the most feasible of the White House’s limited options for protecting abortion access, relying on powers under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act.
