Biden moves to roll back Trump restrictions on abortion, Obamacare
Source: NBC
President Joe Biden on Thursday will begin rolling back anti-abortion measures put in place by the Trump administration and shore up the Affordable Care Act after four years of efforts to dismantle one of Biden’s top legislative accomplishments as vice president.
Biden will sign an executive order Thursday directing federal agencies to reverse policies put in place by the Trump administration that weakened the healthcare.gov insurance marketplace and made it more difficult for people to get Medicaid.
Biden will also issue a presidential memorandum reversing the "Mexico City policy," or global gag rule, which bars U.S. tax dollars from going to international organizations that provide abortion services, and directing the Department of Health and Human services to reconsider policies put in place that limit funding for groups in the U.S. that provide abortion and family planning services.

Biden’s presidential memorandum on abortion will immediately rescind the Mexico City policy, which was initially put in place by President Ronald Reagan and reinstated by Trump. It will also direct the Department of Health and Human Services to take immediate action to consider whether to rescind regulations under its Title X family planning program, which under the Trump administration cut millions in federal funds for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
