Biden’s health secretary tells reporters ‘there is no magic bullet’ on abortion

Health Secretary Xavier Becerra told reporters Tuesday that there’s no “magic bullet” that could restore Americans’ constitutional right to abortion, but said the administration was still working with its top legal advisers to explore every option, including ways to increase access to medication abortion.

“Stay tuned,” he said.

Becerra has announced several steps aimed at protecting existing protections for women, including ensuring that pregnant patients can get emergency medical care and safeguarding patient privacy. In his remarks, Becerra also noted that federal law allows for abortions through its Medicaid program in cases of rape and incest — a standard at odds with states like Arkansas.

The actions though were not expected to open abortion access to most women in states that have banned it.

Let me get this straight: the Brandon admin knew a decision was coming down months and months ago. They had to think there was a good chance the Constitution conservative judges would knock Roe down. The leak happened on May 3rd, so, they had almost 2 months to put a plan together. And this is all they have? I guess that’s a good thing for the pro-life side, but, it mimics almost everything else this admin is doing, whether it’s baby formula, inflation, food prices, you name it, always behind.

Just 1% obtain an abortion due to rape, and .5% from incest, per a USA Today report. Only about 6% are for the true health of the mother. So, the vast majority are for convenience. It’d be a hell of a lot more convenient if they used contraception, with is readily available and affordable in 2022.

When pressed by ABC Senior White House Correspondent Mary Bruce on why he didn’t have more concrete proposals if the ruling was predictable, Becerra noted that he wanted to ensure the administration was on firm legal ground.

Yeah, they had almost 2 months to do this since the leak. And, now, they really do not have much, because the ruling said this is a state’s rights issue, not a federal one. It’s up to the states to decide.

Becerra’s comments are likely to be a steep disappointment for progressives after he promised to take action in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling.

“How we respond will speak to how we view the rights, the dignity and the well-being of women everywhere,” he said, before taking questions from reporters. “At HHS, we will leave no stone unturned.”

Dignity? We’ve seen the videos
