U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order on Wednesday that's aimed, in part, at making it easier for women seeking abortions to travel between states to obtain access to the procedure.

The president will also deliver remarks about securing access to reproductive and other health-care services, following first meeting of the interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access.

More specifically, one of the directives Biden will issue will allow states that have not outlawed abortion to apply for specific Medicaid waivers that would, in effect, help them treat women who have travelled from out of state.

The order will also call on health-care providers to comply with federal nondiscrimination laws and streamline the collection of key data and information on maternal health at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Among attendees at the event are Vice-President Kamala Harris and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
