As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces opposition from all sides of the political aisle over his Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) nomination, Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins explains why pro-lifers should embrace what he can do for the pro-life movement.
In a recent The Federalist article entitled “Getting The Feds Out Of Abortion Requires Pro-Lifers At HHS With RFK Jr.”, Hawkins makes a case for RFK Jr.’s importance in gutting the bloated HHS, the federal nature of abortion, and returning to unbiased science, which includes a serious, in-depth study of what the rise in Chemical Abortion Pills is doing to America’s drinking water. Hawkins writes:
“It’s worth noting that one of Trump and RFK Jr.’s major pushes — making sure America has crystal-clear water — directly intersects with the abortion issue. During the Biden-Harris administration, chemical abortion pills were fundamentally deregulated, allowing for the online distribution of a deadly combination of pills designed to cause the end of a child’s life in the womb. In changing the regulations at the Food and Drug Administration, the abortion activists allowed a de facto permit for water pollution. As our team at Students for Life of America has argued, chemically tainted blood, placenta tissue, and human remains are now being flushed into America’s drinking water.
There is no policy more federal than chemical abortion pill policy. Three Democrat Party presidents — Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden — worked to force the pills onto the market and then stripped away health and safety regulations for mothers, allowing Big Abortion and Big Pharma to make a fast sale without regard for what happens to women.”
Hawkins also argues that despite key differences with President-elect Trump, there’s still plenty of room to work together to stop the politicization of federal entities against pro-lifers.
“While I disagree with President Trump about whether abortion is a federal and state or a state-only issue, pro-life Americans can work with this team, especially if it’s staffed with administration officials who will represent all our interests,” wrote Hawkins. “Pro-lifers seek a serious course correction, as the federal government in the hands of the Democrat Party went on a weaponized hunt for political opponents, especially those who disagreed with them about abortion.”
