Former President Obama\u2019s HHS had imposed the contraception mandate on almost all health insurers in\u00a02011, like the Little Sisters of the indegent, who objected to it on religious grounds, opening themselves around crippling government fines. THE TINY Sisters is really a Catholic order of nuns who look after older people in need.<\/p>\n<p>Becerra\u2019s bid to finesse his record and whitewash it of a distasteful item like litigation against nuns can be an try to exploit a distinction lacking any appreciable difference, namely that the tiny Sisters of the indegent intervened in California\u2019s case contrary to the federal government to become in a position to fight it directly.<\/p>\n<p>However, the very reason for Becerra\u2019s lawsuit was to force the tiny Sisters and any group with a religious exemption from providing contraception coverage to begin with doing so.<\/p>\n<p>In July, the tiny Sisters won among their cases at the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of\u00a0Trump administration rules allowing private employers with religious objections to eschew contraception coverage. Even though victory, that ought to have closed the problem permanently, Becerra\u2019s litigation contrary to the Little Sisters remains ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Becerra also balked when asked about whether he&#8217;d support any limits on abortion access should he be confirmed as HHS secretary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI respect those that have a particular view,\u201d Becerra responded when asked by Senator Steve Daines, a Montana Republican, whether he&#8217;d look at a ban on sex-selective abortions.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Becerra declined to state whether he&#8217;d support a ban on partial-birth abortion, a late-term abortion procedure which involves delivering the fetus and sometimes collapsing the infant\u2019s skull. Partial-birth abortion was outlawed in the U.S. in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I could say is that I&#8217;ll ensure that I\u2019m respecting regulations on those issues,\u201d Becerra responded.<\/p>\n<p>His apparent refusal to take into account any kind of abortion restrictions come in line with Becerra\u2019s history of rabid support for abortion access. He also served as prosecutor in the California criminal trial of David Daleiden, the\u00a0pro-life activist who released undercover videos of Planned Parenthood executives discussing the procurement of fetal areas of the body. Becerra\u00a0took over that case from now-Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Becerra is also a popular of the nation\u2019s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, which includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/political-action-committees-pacs\/C00314617\/candidate-recipients\/2014\">donated<\/a> multiple times to Becerra\u2019s campaigns and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthoodaction.org\/pressroom\/u-s-senate-must-confirm-xavier-becerra-as-hhs-secretary-without-delay\">expressed<\/a> its full-throated support of his nomination to lead the powerful HHS.<\/p>\n<p>The Finance Committee will vote on Becerra\u2019s controversial nomination, and he&#8217;ll face a vote in the entire Senate.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is among America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
