President Biden’s nominees for the top three positions at the Department of Health and Human Services all have troubling records marked by inexperience and incompetence in the area of healthcare policy. Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to matter to Biden as much as their resolute fealty to the abortion industry.
Biden’s nominee for secretary of HHS, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, has no background in the field of healthcare at all. His background includes attacking the First Amendment rights of pregnancy care centers in California, an effort he ultimately lost at the U.S. Supreme Court. The opinion in the 2018 case NIFLA v. Becerra protected the free speech of pro-life pregnancy centers nationwide. Becerra also sued the Little Sisters of the Poor, insisting the religious order should be forced to pay for contraception and abortifacients in its healthcare plans.
