During a congressional hearing Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra refused multiple times to acknowledge that current federal law outlaws partial-birth abortions, at one point claiming that no such law exists, using semantics as his rationale for making the claim.
“Do you agree that partial-birth abortion is illegal?” Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) asked Becerra during a hearing of the House Energy & Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Health to discuss the 2022 HHS budget.
