Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., is promising to create a “White House Office of Reproductive Freedom" if he is elected president, Politico is reporting.

The office would serve as a way to protect abortion rights.

It would coordinate reproductive health issues across all federal agencies, including access to abortion. The office’s responsibilities could include identifying opportunities for executive orders and finding funding for targeted purposes, according to Politico. The website attributed the information to the Booker presidential campaign.

His plan came after a rash of laws restricting abortions, including an Alabama law that would ban nearly all abortions.

“This coordinated attack on abortion rights and reproductive rights requires a coordinated response,” Booker said in a Wednesday post on Medium. “That’s why beginning on Day One of my presidency, I will immediately and decisively take executive action to respond to these relentless efforts to erode Americans’ rights to control their own bodies.”

On Tuesday hundreds of abortion-rights activists rallied in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to protest new restrictions on abortion Republican-dominated legislature in eight states.

Many of the restrictions are aimed at drawing legal challengers, which religious conservatives hope will lead the high court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
