The actual CNN headline from the story in the OP link you provided reads :

Biden will "continue to find solutions" to ensure abortion rights, White House says


-----------------------------------------------------------------

White House prepares to fight states over abortion pill
WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) -

President Joe Biden's administration indicated it will seek to prevent states from banning a pill used for medication abortion in light of the Supreme Court ruling overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, signaling a major new legal fight.

The administration could argue in court that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of mifepristone, one of the pills used for medication abortions, pre-empts state restrictions, meaning federal authority outweighs any state action.

snip============================================

Biden said in remarks after the Supreme Court ruling that the government would seek to protect access to medication abortion, saying efforts to restrict it would be "wrong and extreme and out of touch with the majority of Americans."

Attorney General Merrick Garland was more explicit about what Justice Department is eyeing, saying in a statement: "States may not ban mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy."

Mifepristone was approved for use in abortions by the FDA in 2000, long after Roe was decided in 1973. The pill, also known as RU 486, blocks the pregnancy-sustaining hormone progesterone while the other drug used, misoprostol, induces uterine contractions.
