Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday called on the Biden administration to "pull out all the stops" to ensure Americans are legally allowed to cross the U.S.-Canada border with abortion pills.
Whitmer has been fighting a 1931 anti-abortion law in Michigan that was dormant under Roe v. Wade. But with Roe now overturned by the Supreme Court, the Democratic government said she wanted to see Biden's cabinet to jump into the fight to protect access to abortion.
In a letter to the departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security, Whitmer said the administration must make clear that Americans won't be punished for seeking reproductive care in Canada or for bringing back medication abortion.

Governor Whitmer lost her allies in Canada. Even though Canada has climate change on the agenda, the pipeline would kill off the Northeast Canada refineries and Aviation.
