President Joe Biden suggested on Sunday that he's in talks with staff about the viability of declaring a public health emergency in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health.
It comes hours after his White House finally snapped back at progressives who had been blasting Biden for not doing enough to protect abortion rights.
The high court sided with Mississippi prosecutors late last month on their request to scuttle the federal abortion protections granted by Roe v. Wade.
Biden was on his way to a bike ride near his residence in Delaware on Sunday when he stopped to speak to reporters, who asked if he was considering declaring a public health emergency regarding abortion access.
The president responded that he was asking his staff to see 'whether I have the authority' and what the impacts would be.
He also shared words of encouragement for women who were demonstrating against Supreme Court's decision, telling them to 'keep protesting.'
'Keep making your point. It’s critically important. We can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women,' the president said.
'In the meantime, fundamentally, the only way to change this is to have a national law that reinstates Roe v Wade.'
Biden's efforts to protect abortion access have been blasted by member of his own party for not going far enough.
Multiple reports have suggested that the White House has bristled at demands from progressives that they see as a fine sentiment but unrealistic to implement, such as calls to build abortion clinics on federal land in states where the practice is now banned.
Biden's outgoing communications director, Kate Bedingfield, unleashed against those Democratic critics in a statement to the Washington Post published on Saturday evening.

“We can do a lot of things to accommodate Baal—*cough* I mean, the rights of women.”
public health emergency ???
abortion mandate, for everyone, males and females ?
They should blame Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg, who didn’t have sense enough to retire when she was sick when BO was Prez...
It’s not public health and it’s not an emergency.
Stupid and evil is a terrible combination in a pretend president.
Since when is killing babies a health choice- many Americans see it as murder.
That said, we are in a time when right is wrong, and wrong is right-so so obvious…and with the recent Roe Wade decision, maybe, just maybe this will be a year of winning. My thanks to fellow prayer warriors, the Athiests can thank us later.
Buzzi didn’t retire because she was sure that Hillary would win in ‘16. Then Hillary could name her replacement. Big backfire huh? Everything backfires with that witch.
She had a little sense. She didn’t trust or like black people like Obama. Check her record on clerks.
He is from the pit of Hell.
The “hook up” culture is the real health emergency.
(we are in a time when right is wrong, and wrong is right)
Isaiah 5:20 days.
Declaring an emergency in response to politics not going your way, solely for the purpose of taking power away from those with which you disagree is evil on face of it. These psychopaths are getting themselves tighter and tighter into that corner. Their response to losing is cheating. This is unsustainable.
What a maroon!
“...that he’s in talks with staff about the viability of declaring...”
Notice the word “viability” rather than “legality” is used. He certainly does not have the Constitutional authority to do so and viability means he has to see whether the Republicans will allow him to slip it through.
What is it with this man? He’s obsessed and committed to using all his remaining energy to kill American babies, devaluing our savings, importing non-Americans to replace Americans, killing anything to do with petroleum, promoting the interests of the chicoms and the islamic terrorists, destroying this once-great country, and persecuting anyone who supports Trump.
All the above are interrelated.
He has the Pope in his pocket, why not?
If you can call a mild cold an emergency, you can call anything one.
