President Biden will sign an executive order Friday ordering agencies to find ways to expand access to contraception. The policy move coincides with the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that overturned the broad right to abortion in Roe v. Wade.

Mr. Biden will address the court’s action, known as the “Dobbs” decision, and new state limits on abortion at a political event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday.

HHS and the Treasury and Labor departments will be tasked with finding ways to expand access to over-the-counter contraception, including emergency contraceptives such as Plan B, without a prescription. The White House said the executive order is Mr. Biden’s third on reproductive health care since the Supreme Court overturned Roe in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.

“Since the Dobbs decision last summer, we have seen the horrifying impact that the extreme MAGA agenda has on women’s health. MAGA Republicans’ promising a national abortion ban makes reelecting President Biden and Vice President Harris all the more important,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said.
