[Old School Hound]

Xavier Becerra is yet another ideologue lawyer, driven by recent notions of social justice and not the law as written. who has nada by way of training to assume duties as the United States secretary of health and human services. He's a raging lib with an agenda to grind just like the entire administration.

I do not accept the surmise which states only 1 in 10 Americans are pro life. AFTR, when that little baby's head emerges from the mother's womb and some heartless jerk murders it, he/she and all those who support such barbarism may temporarily seem to be getting by with doing so, although I'd have to think keeping the door to that murder closet closed is a nightmare they know will someday consume them. But the day of reckoning (which only the Lord is powerful enough 'to deliver') every last one of those who participated or supported abortion, will suffer eternally. And at that point all of God's creation will understand that only He can adequately judge and punish those who are without Christ. But this idea that there is comfort or safety in numbers is refuted once again by none other than the Lord Himself---
Matt 7: 13-14
13“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION---
"Partial-birth abortion (PBA) is the term Congress has used to describe a procedure that crosses the line from abortion to infanticide.  The doctor delivers a substantial portion of the living child outside his mother's body --- the entire head in a head-first delivery or the trunk past the navel in a feet-first delivery --- then kills the child by crushing his skull or removing his brain by suction."

Suction. Pretty innocuous sounding until  the reality and horror of the act is revealed.
"Partial-Birth Abortion is a procedure in which  the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix (the opening to the womb).  The abortionist punctures the base of the baby’s skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trochar.  He then inserts a catheter (tube) into the wound, and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine.  This causes the skull to collapse, after which the abortionist completes the delivery of the now-dead baby.

But according to advocates there's nothing to see here, move along. Please!

I did not say that 1 in 10 categorize themselves as pro-life. I think a  larger percentage than that would say they are pro-life. But the fact remains(and the polling has been consistent on this) that only a bit over 10% say they want abortion to be illegal in all cases.  Only a small minority of Americans wants Roe overturned.  I know you don't like to hear that  Jetson  , but Americans want their abortion option to be remain legal.  If you don't like it, do something to change the law.  As for now, I just want people in high government positions to respect the current law. Unfortunately , the  disgraced former president did not respect the law and neither did his grifters and sycophants and the domestic terrorists who he encouraged.  That's why we had an insurrection and attempted coup.  

Btw, I've never known a liberal who liked abortion. We just think, as do about 87% of Americans that the option should remain available for women in some cases.  Only a small minority disagree with that. Apparently, Jetson is one of those. That's fine. It's okay to disagree.  I'm just saying I want the head of the HHS to respect the law, as it is currently written. Apparently, he does.

Sounds like he said he would respect the law.   The law says abortion is legal. The reason that won't change is because the vast majority of Americans want it to remain legal. Barely more than 1 in 10  Americans say it should be illegal in all cases. All I heard the man say is that he would respect the law. The law in this case reflects the will of the vast majority of the people in the country.  When we don't respect the law(legal and fair elections, for instance), the result is an insurrection and attempted coup. Sounds like this man respects the law. Respecting the law is important.

In the Gallup poll, when respondents were first asked about the legality of abortion, 49% described themselves as "pro-life" and 46% as "pro-choice." However, among people who were not asked about legality first, 43% described themselves as "pro-life" and 52% as "pro-choice." Gallup's 2019 polling also found that 50% of Americans believe abortion to be morally wrong, while 42% believe it to be morally acceptable, and 6% believe that it depends on the situation.

Never said that only 10% categorize themselves as pro-life.  I said that only 10-20% (I think its around 13%) want abortion to be illegal in all cases. The vast majority of Americans do not want Roe overturned.
