Biden met virtually with Democratic governors on Friday to discuss abortion care after the repeal of Roe v. Wade.
New York's Kathy Hochul provided a list to Biden of potential actions, including additional funding for family planning services more broadly so that providers can focus private dollars for abortion services.
New Mexico's Lujan Grisham said she agreed"wholeheartedly" with Hochul's assessment that there are more federal opportunities to protect women's access to care, and suggested Indian Health Service clinic and sovereign tribal nations could be another avenue for Biden to pursue. Biden also touted some steps he's taken in the aftermath of the Roe decision, such as instructing the Justice Department to protect women traveling out-of-state for care and Health and Human Services to ensure access to federally-approved medication such as contraception and the abortion pill mifepristone.
Other governors in attendance for the virtual roundtable were New Mexico's Michelle Lujan Grisham, Connecticut's Ned Lamont, Colorado's Jared Polis, Illinois' J.B. Pritzker, Washington's Jay Insee, Oregon's Kate Brown and Rhode Island's Daniel McKee. Hochul has instructed the state legislature to add equal rights to the agenda of their special, stating that after today lawmakers will be a step closer to enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution.
