Ashley reflected on the threats posed to liberty threats by the Biden administration. She pointed to President Biden’s pick for HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, who has made a career out of attacking the Catholic Church, most notably the Little Sisters of the Poor.
“Becerra spent years tormenting the Little Sisters of the Poor in court, trying to force them to pay for things like abortion pills against their consciences. He also led efforts to force pro-life pregnancy resource centers to advertise for abortion.”
Policy Advisor Grazie Christie also voiced her dismay. “President Biden has made it clear that his Catholic faith will inform the decisions he makes as president, but today, one of his first presidential actions will be to fund abortion overseas using Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars. Instead of using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion abroad, he should prioritize an authentic concern for the world’s poor by helping them to house, feed, and educate their children rather than eliminate them.”
