The Secret Service was scrambled and set on high alert.

Washington D.C., Jul 8, 2022 / 12:53 pm President Joe Biden signed an executive order Friday aimed at protecting abortion access in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“This is a choice,” he said before signing the order July 8. “A moment to restore the rights that have been taken away from us, and the moment to protect our nation from an extremist agenda that is antithetical to everything we believe as Americans.”
He repeatedly referred to abortion as “health care” and called abortion drugs “medication.”
Biden, a Catholic, has repeatedly supported abortion in contrast with the Catholic Church’s teaching that human life must be respected and protected from the moment of conception.
The president signed the “Executive Order Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care Services” at the White House in the presence of Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Xavier Becerra, and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
In the order, Biden states his administration’s policy to support “women's right to choose” as “essential to justice, equality, and our health, safety, and progress as a Nation.”
The order focuses on four general areas, according to a White House fact sheet: access to “reproductive health care services”; patients’ privacy and access to information; the security of patients, providers, and clinics; and the coordination of federal efforts to protect “reproductive rights and access to health care.”

Justice Roberts opinion?
Biden doesn’t have any authority in the matter. I’d say this is grounds for impeachment.
Murderous, ghoulish piece of filth.
Executive Order only applies to the Executive branch.
It’s symbolic in other words.
Pointless posturing designed to show Democrats “Biden is DOING SOMETHING”.
Well said
Yeah, nope. FO, pedojoe…
The Court has spoken. It's the Law of the Land. Brandon can eat dirt on this one.
The imposter in chief Biden only believes in choice when it comes to murdering a baby.
He does not believe it when it comes to your health.
And his next EO says the ocean waters must recede.
Just as applicable.
Such a presidential fiat is a threat to our democracy.
Yes kinda like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cYdpOjletnc
If this desiccated old turd wants to put his name to this abomination fine, just don’t use my Constitution as an excuse.
People might care if Brandon didn’t ruin the economy and the budgets of middle class families.
EOs are not nationwide laws. They have no authority over any regular citizen.
Assuming the dems lose at lease one house of congress in November, this is going to be the strategy through the 2024 election: executive orders, administrative decisions, gridlock on any legislation (blamed on Republicans, moreso on the ones who won’t break with the party line because they are just puppets of Trump), and because their whole hold on power is based on a gossamer thin authority that can disappear in a moment with a court decision or the next president, leaning into that fear forever and ever.
Didn’t Biden say a few weeks ago that no constitutional right is absolute?
But SC decisions made in 1973 are beyond reproach?
This might seem like a strange question to you but why was biden able to shut down the keystone pipeline by EO but not change the rule on abortions.
