United States President Joe Biden will take a series of measures this Friday to, among other things, protect the privacy of women who wish to terminate a pregnancy online.

According to a White House statement, the president will sign an executive order to “protect sensitive health information” and “combat digital surveillance” related to abortion.

The text also provides for the protection of mobile clinics that perform procedures to interrupt pregnancy on the borders of states where this practice is prohibited, guarantee access to contraceptives and abortion pills, as well as organize a network of volunteer lawyers.
