The White House fears the United States is at "serious risk" of prohibiting abortion nationwide after comments from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki amplified McConnell's remark that a Republican-controlled Capitol Hill could enact a federal abortion ban.

"I think we're at serious risk," she said. "Dozens and dozens of Republicans in Congress signed on to the Mississippi support case and advocating for severe restrictions on a woman's right to choose and a woman's right to make choices about her own body."

Psaki also cited Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves's weekend interview in which he did not rule out contraceptive reforms, particularly regarding the Plan B pill or intrauterine devices.

"There's a range of considerations that are underway by our Counsel's Office, by the Department of Justice, led by the Gender Policy Council, to take every step we can to protect women's fundamental rights and protect rights," she said.

McConnell told USA Today a national abortion prohibition was "possible" should he and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) take power in their respective chambers.

“If the leaked opinion [overturning Roe] became the final opinion, legislative bodies — not only at the state level but at the federal level — could certainly legislate in that area,” he said.

The White House has distanced President Joe Biden from pro-abortion protests staged outside Supreme Court justices' homes after a draft opinion of a decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to reporters, as well as the vandalism of a Wisconsin anti-abortion organization's headquarters, including with at least one Molotov cocktail.

"We're certainly not suggesting anyone break any laws," Psaki added Monday. “Violence, threats, and intimidation have no place in political discourse."
