Pro-life activists and groups have spoken out against President-elect Joe Biden choosing California Attorney General Xavier Becerra as his secretary of health and human services due to his history of abortion advocacy.
The former vice president is reportedly planning to appoint Becerra, who has often fought legal battles with the Trump administration over federal policies, according to multiple news sources.
Among his efforts, Becerra defended state laws requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to promote abortion, a state law that was eventually struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
He also filed criminal charges against members of the pro-life group the Center for Medical Progress for its undercover activism against Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
