Just what is so wrong with Mr. Becerra? Well, his radical position on abortion, for starters.
Unlike most Americans who support common sense limits on abortion and try to balance the mother’s freedom of choice with her child’s right to live, Mr. Becerra is aggressively pro-abortion. He’s been that way since the start of his political career. From voting against requiring parental notification when a minor girl is trafficked across state lines to procure an abortion to voting in favor of both gruesome late-term partial birth abortion and discriminatory sex-selective abortions, he has come through 100 percent for the abortion lobby. His rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood? A-plus.
Allowing abortion at home removes protection for women coerced into abortion, sometimes by an abusive partner. It is entirely possible that a woman experiencing a crisis pregnancy wants to keep her child and the only chance of this being realized is to have a face-to-face meeting and to consider all available help and support. A consultation by telephone or video risks misunderstandings between the woman and health professional and a failure to adequately address all anxieties and concerns. It is difficult to believe that all of the potentially serious psychological and mental health complications can be adequately dealt with over the phone or in a virtual setting. Women in a crisis pregnancy are extremely vulnerable and they must not be denied confidential, face-to-face support and help. To do so would be tantamount to neglect and a failure of government’s duty of care.
