Washington, DC…We knew that when Texas passed SB8, its extreme law that blatantly violates the constitutional right reaffirmed by Roe v. Wade, it would invite other states to follow. Today, Idaho became the first state to adopt a similar law \u2013 a six-week restriction relying on private citizens to enforce the law.

This is unacceptable, which is why President Biden directed a whole of government response to protect women\u2019s rights that are currently under attack.<\/p>\n

The Biden-Harris Administration will continue to stand with women and support their right to make their own health care decisions, a constitutional right that Roe v.
