It also provides for a smoother transition than ending the emergency declarations by legislation in Congress, according to the White House. The wind-down aligns with the administration’s commitment to give at least 60 days’ notice prior to termination of the PHE. The declarations are set to expire on March 1 and April 11, respectively, but those will be extended a final time to May 11. President Joe Biden announced he will end the declarations of national emergency and public health emergency (PHE) that began in 2020 under the administration of President Donald J. Hence, I am directing that Council and the Office of the White House Counsel to launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision, looking specifically to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to see what steps the Federal Government can take to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions as protected by Roe, and what legal tools we have to insulate women and providers from the impact of Texas’ bizarre scheme of outsourced enforcement to private parties.The COVID-19 pandemic will end in the spring – at least on paper and in policy. One reason I became the first president in history to create a Gender Policy Council was to be prepared to react to such assaults on women’s rights. While the Chief Justice was clear to stress that the action by the Supreme Court is not a final ruling on the future of Roe, the impact of last night’s decision will be immediate and requires an immediate response. The dissents by Chief Justice Roberts, and Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan all demonstrate the error of the Court’s action here powerfully. Rather than use its supreme authority to ensure justice could be fairly sought, the highest Court of our land will allow millions of women in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities. For the majority to do this without a hearing, without the benefit of an opinion from a court below, and without due consideration of the issues, insults the rule of law and the rights of all Americans to seek redress from our courts. And it not only empowers complete strangers to inject themselves into the most private of decisions made by a woman-it actually incentivizes them to do so with the prospect of $10,000 if they win their case. This law is so extreme it does not even allow for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. Complete strangers will now be empowered to inject themselves in the most private and personal health decisions faced by women. By allowing a law to go into effect that empowers private citizens in Texas to sue health care providers, family members supporting a woman exercising her right to choose after six weeks, or even a friend who drives her to a hospital or clinic, it unleashes unconstitutional chaos and empowers self-anointed enforcers to have devastating impacts. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost fifty years. The Supreme Court’s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v.
