So what does President Biden planning on doing on those two items right now?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>PSAKI: Well, I think we\u2019ll have more to say on the Mexico City policy in the coming days, but I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly.
