President Joe Biden said that he has directed his Gender Policy Council and White House Counsel’s Office to prepare responses to an expected U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The ruling, which allows abortion providers to challenge the law, provides clues to coming decision on Mississipi case that challenges court's landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade.

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum joined 23 other states in their support of the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ban.
