Pro-life organizations on Wednesday charged that Xavier Becerra, the radically pro-abortion Health and Human Services secretary picked by President Biden, was lying when he denied that there was a U.S. law addressing “partial-birth abortion.”
Article by Bob Unruh from WND.
In fact, Becerra was in the House, and himself voted against the “Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003” when the House approved it.
The dispute arose from Becerra’s claims during a virtual hearing.
He was asked about the gruesome procedure, which the law defines as “an abortion in which a physician deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living, unborn child’s body until either the entire baby’s head is outside the body of the mother, or any part of the baby’s trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother and only the head remains inside the womb, for the purpose of performing an overt act (usually the puncturing of the back of the child’s skull and removing the baby’s brains) that the person knows will kill the partially delivered infant.”
The Supreme Court upheld the law in Gonzales v. Carhart.
He was asked if he believes partial-birth abortion is illegal.
“Thank you for the question, and here as I said in response to some of those questions during my confirmation hearing, uh, we will continue to make sure we follow the law. Again, with due respect there is no medical term like partial birth abortion and so I probably would have to ask you what you mean by that,” he said.
“Roe v. Wade is very clear, settled precedent, a woman has a right to, uh, to make decisions about her reproductive health and we will make sure we enforce the law, and, uh, protect those rights.”
“There is no law that deals specifically with the term partial birth abortion,” he claimed.
“Stop lying,” the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List told Becerra on social media. “The law passed & Supreme Court upheld it. This law bans killing a child when it is already partially born. You voted AGAINST this law.”
.@RepGusBilirakis: Will you uphold the law banning Partial-Birth Abortions?@SecBecerra: There is no such law…
Stop lying.
The law passed & Supreme Court upheld it.
This law bans killing a child when it is already partially born.
You voted AGAINST this law.

Becerra’s radical agenda on abortion has been evident for years. He was one of those demanding that an organization of Catholic nuns should be forced to fund abortions for employees when that dispute went to the Supreme Court, which gave the nuns the victory.
The Susan B. Anthony List noted Becerra’s newest comments, in which he essentially was parsing words and definitions, came during a House Energy and Commerce Committee, Health Subcommittee hearing.
While doctors may not have a “medical” term the law in fact has defined partial birth abortion.
Doctors might instead use dilation and evacuation.
Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser had had enough of Becerra’s “dodging.”
“During his confirmation hearings, Xavier Becerra dodged questions about his stance on partial-birth abortion – when an unborn child is partially delivered and then killed – deflecting with repeated claims that he would ‘follow the law’ as head of HHS. Now the top health official in America, Becerra outright denies the existence of a law banning partial-birth abortion since 2003,” she said.
“Becerra can hardly plead ignorance on this topic. As a freshman congressman, he voted against the ban. This shameless lie is standard for the most radical pro-abortion administration in history. It should not be hard to recognize that partially delivering a baby and then suctioning his or her brain is not only illegal, but utterly inhumane.”
She continued, “As Becerra works hand-in-glove with the White House to expand abortion on demand and force taxpayers to bankroll the abortion industry against their will, pro-life leaders in Congress are fighting back. 210 legislators are demanding a vote on legislation to protect babies born alive during failed abortions from being killed or left to die. If just five Democrats sign the petition, it will force a vote Speaker Pelosi seems desperate to avoid. Sadly, not a single Democrat has yet signed the petition and opposed infanticide.”
She said pro-life leaders including Reps. Gus Bilirakis, John Joyce, and Dan Crenshaw should be praised for demanding answers from Becerra.
“Becerra’s responses further reveal the extremism of Biden-Harris Democrats and SBA List will work tirelessly to expose them and ensure political consequences,” Dannenfelser said.
Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., filed a discharge petition demanding a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would ensure that babies born alive during failed abortions receive the same medical care that would be afforded a premature infant born at the same age.
It’s been blocked by pro-abortion Democrats so far.
‘The Purge’ by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us
Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.
For the last few months, NOQ Report, Conservative Playbook, and the American Conservative Movement have appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.
It wasn’t just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from “woke” Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. Both of our YouTube accounts were banned. Facebook “fact-checks” everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Medium canceled us. Apple canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss “taboo” topics.
The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can’t say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancellation, but we’d rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media’s lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they’ve convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.

The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects, including death. One of our stories about the Johnson & Johnson “vaccine” causing blood clots was “fact-checked” and removed one day before the government hit the brakes on it. These questions and news items are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting canceled.
There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ, CP, and ACM readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We are on track to be short by about $4100 per month in order to maintain operations.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.
During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we’d like to be completely free from them. That doesn’t mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
