On the 23ed of August, pro-choice protesters showed up in front of the White House with a single demand: that US President Joe Biden follow through with his earlier remarks about declaring a state of Public Heath Emergency over abortion access.

Biden or his advisers have previously floated the idea of declaring a federal state of emergency (similar to what was done for covid) to block anti-choice states from interfering with the mail or the right to travel across state lines for abortion. There has been pressure on Biden to go further and have the Federal government itself provide abortion services off of Federal land.

Many of the anti-abortion states have huge amounts of land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management or the US Park Service as well as sprawling military bases and downtown Federal buildings. All of these are places doctors employed by the Federal government could provide abortion services with likely immunity against state prosecution. States would instead have to attempt to prosecute the Federal government itself and would be "Trumped" so to speak by sovereign immunity.
