Dr. Anthony Fauci says the Biden administration will abandon former President Trump’s policy of banning US foreign aid from going to international organizations that promote or perform abortions.

The infectious disease expert, serving as President Biden’s chief medical adviser, announced the move Thursday on the eve of the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

On Friday, the White House doubled down on its commitment to ensuring access to abortions.

A statement attributed to Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said: “In the past four years, reproductive health, including the right to choose, has been under relentless and extreme attack. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone has access to care – including reproductive health care – regardless of income, race, zip code, health insurance status, or immigration status.”

1. good....

... there were so many things that happened over the last 4 yrs I was afraid they'd get lost in the shuffle when we tried to 'fix stuff'

... I had thought of staring a notebook to remind myself what I needed to reach out and ask my congress-critters to consider fixing...

... but apparently Biden/Harris HAVE kept a little black book and I'm delighted....

... I simply LOVE we've fixed a lot of the horrors and it's only 2 days in ...
... somehow, I don't think Joe will be taking the weekend off to go golf....

.... I just LOVE being a democrat

2. reproductive rights should also be codified in congress

it will easily pass house and senate - collins, murkowski are likely to support abortion rights legislation.
