The White House publishes a website to inform citizens of their reproductive rights after the end of Roe v. Wade

2022-06-28T17:02:50.385Z


"Abortion remains legal in many states, and other reproductive health care services remain protected by law," says the Joe Biden Administration.


The Government activated the website www.reproductiverights.gov/es/ on Tuesday to inform citizens about their reproductive rights, in response to the decision of the Supreme Court to eliminate the constitutional protection of the right to abortion.

"Abortion is still legal in many states and other reproductive health care services are still protected by law," says the page, which also offers information in Spanish on contraceptive methods, how to access clinics, preventive health services and what do if you don't have insurance.

This website is part of the strategy of the Joe Biden Administration to continue protecting people who do not wish to continue with their gestation, despite the historic ruling that on Friday repealed the Roe v.

Wade.

The Supreme Court's decision is "detestable, but not unpredictable," said the secretary of the Department of Health, Xavier Becerra, during the presentation of the government plan.

"It jeopardizes the health of millions of Americans. We will do everything the law allows us" to guarantee the rights of citizens regarding their reproductive rights, he added.

The battle now turns to the states

The decision of the Supreme Court has given rise to a wave of litigation.

While conservatives have rushed to enact abortion bans, Democrats are entrenching this right in the states they govern and trying to stop or delay restrictive laws where they are opposed.

Much of the lawsuits in the courts in recent days have focused on the so-called

trigger laws

, which have been adopted by 13 states to take effect immediately after the Supreme Court ruling.

Recent laws to restrict abortion that had not been implemented pending Friday's ruling have also been revived.

“We will be back in court tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after

,” said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which argued the case that resulted in the Supreme Court ruling.

In Utah and Louisiana there were court rulings to block backlash laws from going into effect, while in Texas clinics are seeking guarantees to resume services for a few more weeks without risking prosecution.

A judge in Utah on Monday blocked a near-total abortion ban from going into effect,

giving 14 days to consider challenges to the state's reaction law.

"I think the immediate effects that there will be outweigh any political interest of the state in stopping abortions," Utah Judge Andrew Stone said.
