Opinion: The Biden-Harris administration needs to end fake abortion clinics
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, President Biden signed an executive order directing federal agencies to consider ways to protect abortion access. Three weeks later, at the first meeting of the new Interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access, he announced another executive order aimed at assisting patients who travel out of state to obtain abortions. That same week, Kansas soundly defeated an effort to remove abortion protections from its state constitution.
For those who support access to abortion care, these are positive steps.

These centers divert, delay, and deceive people seeking abortion care, exploiting their personal information while accepting millions of dollars in public funding.
