Pro-Life Advocacy Groups Optimistic After RFK Jr. Confirmed as Health Secretary

RFK Jr

Pro-life advocacy groups are saying they see Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a man who changed his mind. The newly confirmed secretary of health and human services has apparently shifted to align with President Donald Trump’s pro-life agenda during his Senate confirmation hearings after openly supporting abortion policies for most of his public life.

The Senate confirmed Kennedy to the office of HHS secretary by a 52-48 vote late Thursday morning after Democrat senators filibustered into the night to oppose the confirmation of the Democrat and former independent candidate for president. Now, pro-life advocates are expressing optimism about the future of their cause under his leadership.

Xavier Becerra

As the second Trump administration prepares to commandeer the regulatory apparatus, blue states may be hoping the Supreme Court strikes down Biden administration demands on red states to protect them from the same treatment under President Trump.

More than 20 states, nearly as many federal lawmakers and dozens of conservative, pro-life and religious groups asked SCOTUS to overturn a ruling that refused to block the Department of Health and Human Services from cutting off Oklahoma’s Title X family planning funds for not giving women information about abortion.

Commentary: Harris, Walz Seek to Up-End True ‘Choice’ for Pregnant Women

Vice-presidential picks generally balance a ticket, but Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate does anything but. And American Catholics and others who care about the poor and vulnerable should be alarmed.

Consider their attacks against their states’ life-affirming pregnancy care centers. For me, this issue is more than political. It’s personal. Like many Catholics across the country, I volunteer at our local pregnancy centers. I’m the medical director for the centers run by the Archdiocese of Miami and I read their fetal ultrasounds. Helping families and expectant mothers through my work there is one of the most rewarding ways in which I practice medicine.
