The Biden administration is still scrambling to contain the fallout after a leaked document

signaled the Supreme Court may be ready to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The White House is trying to come up with a game plan to protect abortion rights, but options are

feasible. There's also been debate over potential executive and regulatory actions the administration

could take, but officials privately recognize that nearly any administrative action would face legal

The problem is, with the filibuster in place, Senate Democrats don't have the votes.

In February, Senate Republicans blocked the Women's Health Protection Act, a bill that would have

codified Roe v. Wade into law. At the time, Republican Senator Susan Collins and Lisa McCoskey

didn't back the legislation. But McCasky said yesterday, she'll consider the bill with changes.

I would actually like to see what changes, if any, have been made to that.

If there is something new that is on the table today, obviously we take forward.

Earlier this week, I reported that President Biden and his team are looking to turn the midterms

into a contrast with Donald Trump and the Republicans, and now that plan appears to be in full motion.
