Abortion rights protesters gathered outside the White House on Saturday to call on President Joe Biden to do more to protect access.
The action, organized by the Women's March, is part of a "Summer of Rage" in response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Since the June 24 ruling ending nationwide abortion access, several states have already moved to limit or outright ban the procedure.
"We're putting our bodies on the line at the White House RIGHT NOW," the group wrote on Twitter. "Let's show President Biden there are millions more who want him to declare a state of emergency and protect abortion access NOW."
The demonstration came just one day after Biden, facing pressure from his own party to do more, signed an executive order aimed at protecting access to abortion care and other reproductive health services.
Biden's executive order directs agencies to safeguard access to federally approved medication like the abortion pill and emergency contraception, as well as provide legal representation for patients and providers seeking or offering services. It also looks to protect patient privacy.
The Women's March is calling on Biden to declare a public health emergency and national emergency, which they say will allow the administration to "utilize additional flexibilities, deploy resources where necessary, and act with the urgency that this moment requires."
The protest began in Franklin Park before moving down to the White House.
Outside the White House, protesters chanted "do your job" and "keep us safe."
After Biden signed the executive order on Friday, the White House was on the defense in the briefing room today when asked if this was the best the president could do and if there are any other actions he can take given his limited executive power.

The President is busy in a ‘how to tie your shoe” class ... move along
How do they know what a woman is?
Are they all biologists?
national emergency really , did they check the price of food and fuel ,D’oh
These people are crazy
“The Women’s March is calling on the president to declare a national emergency.”
Good idea. Biden can muster the fat, 50-IQ, potato chip-eating, coke-guzzling, affirmative action bureaucrats to come and get us. But first, the idiot DC bureaucrats will need to figure out what a woman is and which bathroom to use.
Women are calling for abortion to be brought back....
Trying to bring back a right that never existed in the constitution or anywhere else.
And, that's just the leftest list from Wikipedia. There are many more than this, IMHO.
And, then there are PEADs.
It’s good to see the Communists destroying each other — the inevitable end of tyrants.
The real National Emergency is Biden himself.
Declaring emergencies seems to be the tyrant’s excuse. Covid, Monkey Pox, SCOTUS rulings they disagree with, supply chain issues, food shortages.
Dear Abortion is a Right persons ... do the devil’s work, expect the devil’s pay.
before 1973, when Harry Blackmun who was obsessed with abortion, created the Roe vs Wade decision, this was all normal life.
National emergency?! Wow …
Contraception is something that happens BEFORE conception,
after that it’s just murder.
Did nancy put up her terrorist fence for these rioters?
Stop and think about the depravity of a group of people who are obsessed with the killing of innocent unborn children. It’s demonic.
A national emergency because we are not murdering enough babies. God help us.
This whole national emergency thing is a joke. You could call something much the same for abortions on unborn babies. It would make as much sense and be just as stupid. It would make no sense.
