President Joe Biden will be visiting Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday to speak about reproductive rights. His campaign has announced that he will discuss the importance of reproductive freedom in the upcoming election.
The timing of Biden’s speech is significant as it comes just a week before Florida’s new six-week abortion ban is scheduled to go into effect on May 1. Despite the state’s past support for former President Donald Trump, the Biden campaign sees an opportunity to engage with voters in Florida.
Prior to his trip to Florida, the Biden administrationon made a notable announcement regarding reproductive health care privacy in Washington.
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra introduced a new rule aimed at preventing doctors, health insurance companies, and others from sharing health information with law enforcement for investigative purposes.
The rule is designed to safeguard individuals seeking abortion services in other states and protect health care providers from potential prosecution.
