During a congressional hearing last week, in response to a question from Representative Gus Bilirakis (R., Fla.), our nation’s top health official, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, repeatedly denied the existence of a federal ban on barbaric partial-birth abortions that has been law for 18 years. Even under the most pro-abortion administration in history, where such shameless lies are par for the course, a new low has been set.
