Robert F Kennedy Jr. Tells Senate “Every Abortion is a Tragedy.” Will Implement Pro-Life Policies

During questioning today in a Senate committee hearing, HHS Secretary nominee Robert F Kennedy Jr told senators he thinks abortion is a “tragedy” and promised he would implement pro-life policies handed down by President Trump.

Senator Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, questioned Kennedy on abortion.

“I believe every abortion is a tragedy,” he responded. “I agree with President Trump that every abortion is a tragedy. That we cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year. That the states should control abortion.”

Kennedy said Trump “has told me that he wants to end late-term abortions…protect conscious exemptions and…and end federal funding for abortions here and abroad.”

Kennedy also confirmed he would uphold conscience protections for medical professionals who don’t want to be involved in abortions: “I don’t know anybody who would want to have a doctor performing a surgery that the doctor is morally opposed to.”

He committed to enforcing the pro-life policies of the Trump administration.

When President-Elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary, tapping him to an important post that makes significant health care policies related to abortion and pro-life issues, pro-life Americans were concerned about his stance on abortion.

But Kennedy assured senators in multiple meetings on Capitol Hill in December that he will ensure President Trump restores a host of pro-life policies that will save babies from abortions.

In a post on X, pro-life Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri detailed the pro-life policies Kennedy assured him would be back in place after Trump is inaugurated as president.

“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,” Hawley said.

“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,” Hawley explained. “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,” Hawley added. “RFK also pledged to reinstate conscience protections for healthcare providers.”

Those are some of the key pro-life policies an incoming administration would be expected to restore after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took them all down to make way for their radical pro-abortion agenda.

Kennedy Jr. had been running against Trump for president but endorsed Trump after he suspended his campaign. During his campaign, Kennedy ran on a platform of reforming the health care bureaucracy, especially in light of failures associated with COVID.

The big problem pro-life Americans had with Kennedy is that he supports abortion and repeatedly said he supports no limits on abortion. Earlier this year, RFK Jr. gave an interview in which he confirmed he supports abortions up to birth. Kennedy will need to set those views aside to ensure that HHS enacts all of the pro-life policies that it can to protect babies from abortion.
