The executive order also aims to give guidance to health care providers.
President Joe Biden will sign another executive order Wednesday as part of his administration's efforts to help ensure access to abortion in light of the Supreme Court's decision earlier this summer to eliminate the federal right to the procedure.
Wednesday's executive order directs Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to consider "all appropriate actions to ensure health care providers comply with federal non-discrimination laws so that women receive medically necessary care without delay," including steps to provide health care providers with technical and legal guidance amid the patchwork of state legal restrictions on abortion care following the Supreme Court's decision.
The executive order further directs HHS to expand research efforts on maternal health data, "to accurately measure the impact that diminishing access to reproductive health care services has on women's health," the official said Tuesday.
