The Department of Justice announced on July 12 that it has established a task force to “identify ways to protect access” to abortion.

The “Reproductive Rights Task Force” formalizes similar efforts that were already underway by the department and an existing working group leading up to the Supreme Court’s overturning of the 1973 Roe v. Wade and 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey decisions on June 24.
