But the administration's options are limited despite its strong criticism of the Supreme Court's decision Friday.
Biden called it "a sad day for the court and the country." Xavier Becerra, secretary of Health and Human Services on Tuesday called it "despicable."
Becerra said that the administration would work to ensure that medication abortions remain available, patient privacy is preserved and family planning care is protected.
