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.

Our National emergency is promiscuity!!
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.
National emergency? These people will pervert law however they can to serve THEMSELVES. Such people cannot be reasoned with. They must be bowed to or fought to a conclusion. They’re demonically possessed. They REALLY believe that declaring an emergency as described and invoking special overarching powers over society is called for. That’s demented. Mad. Nutty. It has no basis in reality. This is not a matter of opinion. I am rational. They are crazy. Period.
Keep your feet and knees together. Worked great on those five jumps I made…lol
i.e., millions in favor of totalitarian government.
Killholes
The difficult truth is that too many Americans think that a fetus in the womb is just a bunch of cells. There are many options before aborting a child in the womb. Yes, there are “corner cases” where a family and their doctor need to make a difficult medical choice, where only one will survive. I understand that cases arise where rape and incest are involved. Adoption is an option where a woman can still give the choice of life and both the mother and child live. It may be a difficult choice but it beats dismembering a child. I know of one pastor who agreed to adopt a child that the doctors thought would not survive. The child did survive and needed minimal medical care. When one has a choice, choose life!
Record gas, fuel, and food bills. Record inflation. No baby formula. Ginned up war in Europe. Collapsing stock market. Illegals flooding the country. And for Democrats, the national emergency is to ensure the killing of infants.
Sounds like “constitution deniers” to me. I thought these women were all going on “sex strikes”, so why do they need abortions anyway? Seems their chosen form of protest solves their problem.
Along with rights come responsibilities.
Women want rights without those pesky respomsibilities. They cry, gynosociety caves in.
Finally when they are told “no” they go ballistic.
Isn’t Biden at the beach?
SLATTERNS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
There’s a group called the 1776 Restoration Movement that is encamped in DC with the goal of restoring our constitutional form of government.
One leader was arrested for assault when some woman hit him with a bullhorn and he swatted it away.
Two others were arrested for traffic violations. One is still being held. He’s in solitary 23 hours a day, given no eating utensils and told he’s allowed one visitor a month.
They are a completely peaceful organization. I spent the day with them today passing out copies of the constitution.
A traffic ticket. That’s how they treat conservatives.
And if their mama’s had opted to murder them by ripping of an arm or two, huh?
Yes. And I think it was Blackmun who called it “an emanation from a penumbra “.
