Biden marks 100 days since Dobbs ruling as Dems eye midterms

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is highlighting his administration’s efforts to protect access to abortion. The president is marking 100 days since the Supreme Court overturned a national right to the procedure. Democrats hope the issue will galvanize their voters to the polls ahead of midterm elections. The White House says Biden will attend the second meeting of the Cabinet-level task force he stood up to coordinate the government’s response to the ruling. Biden will also announce two new steps meant to protect access to reproductive health care. At the same time, he is set to remind Americans that only Congress can restore access to abortion nationally, part of his pitch to vote Democratic.
