The Justice Department announced the establishment of the Reproductive Rights Task Force in response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
According to a statement, the task force will monitor state legislation and enforcement that infringes on federal legal protections, prevents women from seeking abortions in other states, impairs individuals' ability to inform and counsel each other, bans Mifepristone, or imposes criminal or civil liability on federal employees who provide abortion services.
