Democrats need to give "some good ideas" on ensuring abortion rights: Becerra – Axios

Category: Democrats

Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that Democrats criticizing the Biden administration's strategy to ensure abortion rights ought to "give us some good ideas."

Driving the news: In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, some progressives have called for the Biden administration to build abortion facilities on federal lands located in red states a move the administration has made clear it is not pursuing.

The big picture: "I also would ask them to please pass a law. They have it in their power, if they can find the votes to actually codify the Roe decision, which is what we need more than anything else," Becerra added when asked by host Chuck Todd about Democrats who believe the administration is "not fighting hard enough" for abortion rights.

What they're saying: "We will find what we can and do as much as we can. But when you are stripped of a right, as the Supreme Court has just done to every woman of childbearing age, it is tough to overcome," he said.
