‘Your Words, Not Mine’: GOP Senator Grills Biden Health Secretary Over No-Limits Abortion

Virginia Kruta, The Daily Wire: Senate hearing on no-limits to abortion

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) grilled Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra over his position on abortion, asking whether there was any case in which he would support imposing restrictions on women seeking to terminate their pregnancies.

During a Tuesday hearing, Kennedy posed a hypothetical scenario — a healthy baby and a healthy mother, one day before the due date — and Becerra repeatedly refused to say whether he’d support banning abortion even in that case.

After thanking Secretary Becerra for his time, Kennedy jumped straight to the heart of his questions.

“Mr. Secretary, if the mother is healthy and the baby is healthy, do you really support abortion of the baby up to the moment of birth?” he asked.
