Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released the following statement after meeting with Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services:
Today I got to sit down with @RobertKennedyJr – we had a substantive discussion about American healthcare & his plans to take on Big Pharma. We also had a good discussion, at length, about prolife policies at HHS

He committed to me to reinstate President Trump’s prolife policies at HHS. That includes reinstating the Mexico City policy & ending taxpayer funding for abortions domestically

He supports reinstating the bar on Title X funds going to organizations that promote abortion

He pledged to reverse the Biden Admin’s Section 1557 rule and also said all of his deputies at HHS would be prolife. He told me he believes there are far too many abortions in the US and that we cannot be the moral leader of the free world with abortion rates so high

RFK also pledged to reinstate conscience protections for healthcare providers
