U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order aimed in part at making it easier for women seeking abortions to travel between states to obtain access to the procedure.

More specifically, one of the directives Biden will issue will allow states that have not outlawed abortion to apply for specific Medicaid waivers that would, in effect, help them treat women who have traveled from out of state.

Biden described as a "health care crisis" the Supreme Court's decision overturning the landmark 1973 ruling Roe vs. Wade, and "every part of the federal government does its part at this critical moment where women's health and lives are on line." Biden signed the order from the White House residence, where he continues to isolate with a rebound case of COVID-19. He participated virtually in a meeting led by Vice President Kamala Harris.The new order nonetheless falls short of what many Democratic lawmakers and abortion advocacy groups have demanded of the Biden administration.
