Team Biden has set up the Reproductive Rights Task Force. They are tasked to do things like examine state abortion laws that potentially violate federal law. For example, state laws that would penalize women for seeking abortions in other states could come under this task force’s review. According to Vanita Gupta, Associate Attorney General, the Supreme Court took away a constitutional right, with a fifty-year precedent, when they overturned Roe v Wade.<\/p>\n

“As Attorney General Garland has said, the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision is a devastating blow to reproductive freedom in the United States,” Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said. “The Court abandoned 50 years of precedent and took away the constitutional right to abortion, preventing women all over the country from being able to make critical decisions about our bodies, our health, and our futures.”<\/p>\n

Gupta added that the new initiative was part of the department’s commitment to “protecting” abortion.<\/p>\n

Part of the task force will be to look at whether various state and local laws are in conflict with federal law. One of the issues the DOJ said it would challenge would be if a state penalizes a woman who leaves a state where abortion is illegal to go get an abortion in a state where it is legal.<\/p>\n

The DOJ also said it would challenge states who ban the abortion-inducing drug mifepristone, which the agency claims would constrast with the Food and Drug Administration’s “expert judgement about its safety and efficacy.”<\/p>\n

Pro-life advocates say that, aside from the obvious danger to the unborn child, there also could be dangers to the mother from the drug.<\/p>\n

“[Even] though mifepristone-induced abortions have been used in the United States for over 20 years, there have still been no randomized trials to systematically investigate the immediate, short-, mid-, and long-term risks. Indeed, what literature has been published has nearly always been funded and conducted by groups and organizations committed to expanding abortion access, often with a history of advocacy for population control,” an article written by several doctors for the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute argued in December.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
