(CNS News) As Xavier Becerra awaits a vote in the Senate on his nomination to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), some conservative leaders told
CNS News why they oppose Becerra. Pro-life leader Lila Rose, in particular, stressed that, “Becerra is a pro-abortion activist and friend of the abortion industry, with no medical background.”
“As head of HHS, Becerra can harness the full power of federal public health toward the destruction of our most vulnerable lives,” Rose said. “This is chilling. Such power and responsibility must not be entrusted to a man who ignores science and openly violates the civil rights of journalists, churches, and the preborn.”
