House Democrats are pushing Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to increase access to abortion-inducing drugs.
On Tuesday, 12 Democratic congresswomen from the House Oversight and Reform Committee sent a letter to the HHS Secretary asking him to push the newly formed Reproductive Health Care Access Task Force to act on this measure.
The Biden administration should “take immediate action to protect and expand access to medication abortion care in accordance with the recent elimination of the medically unnecessary in-person dispensing requirement for the medication abortion drug mifepristone,” said the letter, signed by Democratic female congresswomen including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Cori Bush of Missouri, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
Becerra did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.
