Biden to sign executive order expanding access to contraception
U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday will sign an executive order designed to protect and expand access to contraception, after a Supreme Court ruling last year overturning the constitutional right to abortion raised fears that birth control could also face restrictions.

Noteworthy
Biden’s order will also direct the government to consider ways to make affordable over-the-counter contraception, including emergency contraception, more accessible, the fact sheet said. This could include convening pharmacies, employers, and insurers to explore the issue.
"Let's ask these for-profit businesses to do something out of the goodness of their hearts, surely that'll do the trick!"
Sorry, what is your point? That it's not enough?
I imagine the republicans are gnashing their teeth at this order.
Yep they're really pushing the anti-abortion agenda hard leading up to the elections: https://apnews.com/article/evangelical-christians-abortion-trump-2024-primary-faf79a6938db554e18e378b84c286b71
Which you would hope in a civilised society would mean they don't get in.
