US DoJ readout of Reproductive Rights Task Force meeting

5 December 2023

In the latest move in the USA for rights to contraceptives and abortion drugs, on Monday, the Reproductive Rights Task Force (RRTF) provided a briefing to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Task Force Chair Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta on the Department of Justice’s (DoJ) work to protect reproductive freedom under federal law.

The RRTF was created in July 2022, following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, to formalize the Department of Justice’s ongoing work to protect reproductive rights.

“The Justice Department has been working to defend the reproductive freedoms that are protected by federal law,” AG Garlan said during his remarks. “As part of that work, we are continuing to vigilantly monitor state laws and enforcement actions that threaten to infringe on women’s reproductive rights,” he added.
